Go to [File] – [New Page] or click the ‘New Page’ 
icon from the main tool bar. When you create a project, the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box will appear. You can choose the type of page in the combo box. You can select the normal, popup, or the keypad page.
As soon as the page is created, a page file is instantly saved as “*.pgx” in the project directory. The page name is made up of each page type and page number by default. The three types of pages are: Normal page (Base), Popup page (Popup), and Keypad page (Keypad).
The page name is added to the page tree according to its page type (Normal page: B, Popup page: P, Keypad page: K) and page number.
When the page is created, ‘Tag screen’ and ‘Object window’ are visible by default. Tags and object names shown in the page are listed in each window. You can disable these in the [View] menu.

To change the size or position of the page, right-click on the page or go to [Tools] – [Page Setup] to open the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box. Set values under the [Page Position] tab within the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box.

Normal Page
You can add a standard window by selecting ‘Normal page’ in the [Page Property] tab within the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box. The default size of the page is the same size as the project model. Page name is specified as ‘Base 1’.
Popup Page
You can add a popup page window by selecting ‘Popup page’ in the [Page Property] tab within the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box. The popup page is used to float another window upon the normal page. The default size of the page is the same as the project model. Page name is specified as ‘Popup 1’.
When ‘Top Most’ is selected for the popup page, you can decide whether or not to display the popup page on the specified screen.
Item | Description |
None | Always shows popup page without any display conditions. |
Visible in Screen | Shows popup page only on the specified screen. You can specify the screen by a single page like 1, 2. You can specify the first and last numbers such as 3-5 for continuous pages. |
Hide in Screen | Hides popup page on the specified screen. You can specify the screen by a single page like 1, 2. You can specify the first and last numbers such as 3-5 for continuous pages. |
| - If you use a data logging object, a trend graph, an alarm summary or a key input window object on a popup page, the shortcut keys of data logging may not work properly. - The ‘Popup display condition’ is a feature that shows or hides a popup page according to the user’s need. Just because you do not see a popup page due to the ‘Hide in Screen’ setting, this does not mean the invisible popup page is closed in the project. In the examples described below, you must choose to close the popup page. 1. Open the popup page for the alarm operation. 2. Hide the popup page on the currently displayed screen in the ‘Display Condition’ after selecting ‘Top Most’ on the popup page. 3. All cleared alarm by the alarm disabling operation. 4. Move to another page. → If you do not close the popup page when the alarm is all cleared in step 3, the popup page which opened in step 1 will be displayed again when you go another page in the step 4. Please close the popup page when you ‘all clear’ the alarms in step 3. 5. When switching a page using page-related command expressions (e.g., Prepage()) |
Keypad Page
You can add a keypad window by selecting ‘Keypad page’ in the [Page Property] tab within the ‘Page Properties’ dialog box. The default size of the page is the same as the size of project model. Page name is specified as ‘Keypad 1’. This page is used for the key input object.
The size of keypad page must be smaller than the size of project model. Also, the keypad page must contain one or more key input objects.
You can design the data entry screen by using keypad page. To configure the keypad page settings, select ‘Open Keypad Page’ option under the ‘Touch’ feature in object configuration.
※ Please refer to the Key input window manual for more information about the key input object.
| If you add the key input object in the popup page, the shortcut keys of data logging may not work properly. |
