OMRON CHAPTER 9 – Animation
Release 2.0 Page 153
The number of decimal places displayed can be specified by adding a “#” character for each required
place after a decimal point, e.g. #.## indicates 2 decimal places.
The text can also be left justified by setting the Left Justified setting.
Note: To include a ‘#’ character as part of the text, insert it as an escape character. For
example, to display ‘Box # 1’ type ‘Box \# #’. Only hashes typed to the left of the #
required for value display need escape characters, since the first hash without an
escape character is taken to be the point at which the value should be displayed.
To abort the Display Value edit, click the Cancel pushbutton. By clicking the Browse pushbutton, a
point may be directly specified, as described in chapter 9, Runtime Actions. Once completed, click
the OK pushbutton. If invalid data has been inserted into any field, a descriptive error message is
displayed.
