A window is composed of a variety of parts such as Switches, Lamps, Numerical data and
Graphics. The procedure to add a part to the window is a simple, 3 step, procedure.
1. Select a Part by either clicking on a Parts toolbar icon, or dragging over to one of the
Parts
menu’s selections.
2. When the Part’s dialog box appears, set the Part’s attribute data, such as PLC read/write
address, Shape or BMP, and Label as described in this section. Some Parts have
additional tabs that require more information.
3. After all of the Part’s attributes have been set, simply
click on the OK button to place it on the current window.
If desired, use the Part’s sizing handles to adjust its
size, or click on the Part to select it and drag it
anywhere on the window.
