These buttons can cause displays or faceplates to be called up, variables to be set to preset
numeric values, messages to be acknowledged or states to be displayed.
All the buttons, button fields and radio button fields can be displayed in a
variety of different formats (rectangle, rectangle with rounded corners, 3D-
rectangle, ellipse).
When a button is configured, either text can be specified for the button or any
static graphic object can be defined as the button symbol. For each separate
button, the text or button symbol, as well as the text and button colors are
specified in the button/radio button configuration. The size, orientation and font for
the text can be set or changed separately from the definition of button parameters
using the text attribute settings.

A button press under DigiVis does not require any additional confirmation, and can
write a process variable or call up a faceplate or display. A button can be linked with
any variable and displayed as either pushed or unpushed, as well as in different
pairs of colors.
A button field consists of one or more buttons with an associated confirm button. When
entering the parameters, the confirm button is always automatically displayed alongside. A
button field can comprise up to 25 separate buttons. The buttons in a button field can be
configured completely independently of one another. By pressing a button under DigiVis, a
value can be entered or a faceplate or display called up. The action is not actually performed
until the confirm button is pressed.
All the keys in a radio button field are linked with the same process variable. A value for this
variable can be pre-set for each key. When one of these keys is pressed under DigiVis, the value
configured is written to the process variable. If the process variable is set to one of the configured
values, this can be displayed on the corresponding key. Radio buttons cannot call up faceplates
or graphics, and do not have a confirm button.
Changing the text attributes of a button, button field or radio buttons:
→ Select button (or button field or radio field),
→ Change → Text attributes or via toolbox → T
→ Enter or change text displays → accept with OK,
→ Button text appears as it was entered.
