For positive and negative entry (plus sign (+) used for the value field and the exponent field), polarity
of a nonzero value or exponent can be toggled by positioning the cursor on the polarity sign and
turning the navigation wheel . Polarity will also toggle when using the navigation wheel to
decrease or increase the value or exponent past zero. A zero value or exponent (for example, +00) is
always positive and cannot be toggled to negative polarity.
After executing this command and pressing the EXIT (LOCAL) key, the value returns nil.
Example
value = display.prompt("0.00", "V", "Input 0 to +2V", 0.5, 0, 2)
print(value)
The above command prompts the operator to enter a voltage value. The valid input range is 0 to +2.00, with a
default of 0.50:
0.50V
Input 0 to +2V
If the operator enters 0.70, the output is:
7.00000e-01
