Tips and Sug ges tions
Having trouble deciding which method to use to display a base window? Here are some suggestions:
• If you want to clear the OIT display of all open windows and display a new full screen
window, then use the PLC Control Object function or select the Change Window option in the
Function Key Object. The PLC Control Object is global (meaning it does not matter which
windows are currently on display), so the OIT will always monitor the PLC address that you have
selected. The Function Key Object can be made local to one or more windows by placing the
object on only those windows. It can also be made global (meaning the OIT operator can always
change to this window no matter which window is currently displayed), by placing the Function
Key Object on the Common Window or the Fast Selection Window in the Task Bar, (more about
these later in this chapter).
