You can also design a custom data entry screen using a keypad page, as opposed to using a key input window with a keyboard or a DataEntry object. To use a keypad page, create an object, then select the ‘Open Keypad Page’ option under the ‘Touch’ feature in the object configuration window. The picture below shows the configuration of such an object (top), as well as a comparison between the default EntryData keypad (bottom-left) and an example user-defined keypad page (bottom-right).
| - When using the ‘Open Keypad Page’ action, the target keypad page must contain one or more key input objects. - In the tag registration section of the keypad input window configuration, the tag is ignored if it is operated on by a keypad page. Instead, the tag assigned in the touch object for the ‘Open keypad page’ action will receive the input value. - If you add a key input object in a popup page, the shortcut keys for data logging may not work properly. |
※ Please refer to the Object Configuration section for more information about the ‘Open Keypad Page’ action.
