NOTES:
There are two text displays. One is set to 15 characters and the other is set to 5. The internal tags must
be edited to change the type from integer to string.
Three additional Numeric Displays were added to display the Month, Day, and Year. The tags are
permanent internal tags. The internal tag names must be entered exactly as shown.
Download the project
When you have completed the setup and panel design, download the project to the target display. For
more information on how to download a project, see page 10.
Setup the Host
The host controller must be configured to operate with the target display. The host serial port settings
must match those of the target display.
In this example, the Terminal program from Windows 3.11 is used to communicate with the target
display. The terminal program is configured to match the serial port parameters on the display. The
terminal program has function keys that are used to send the required character strings to the display.
The terminal program can display the strings sent by the display.
