Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Using the Menu System • Ops 3–7
Figure 3.5 Functional Regions of the Punchpad
1. New Value Field
This field shows the new value for the selected knob. Values can be entered into the Punchpad
using the keypad on the Punchpad, a keyboard, or the keypad on the Global Memory Module.
Global Memory Number Entry must be turned on to use the keypad to enter values. Refer to the
section “Personality List” on page Eng 11-2 for information on the Global Memory Number
Entry feature.
New values must be within the range for the selected knob. If the new value is outside the range
for the knob the closest valid value is entered instead. For example, if the knob goes from 0.0%
to 100.0%, and you enter -0.1% or 109.0%, the value enter for the knob will be 0.0% or
100.0% respectively.
2. Keypad
The keypad allows you to enter new values for the selected knob. The value appears in the New
Value Field. Press ENTER on the keypad to use the new value, or CLR to clear the new value
without changing the current knob value.
You can close the Punchpad by pressing ENTER again without entering another value.
3. Knob Selection
The items in the knob selection area represent the knobs on the menu and their current values.
The highlighted item represents the knob that the Punchpad is currently assigned to.
Only items that can use the Punchpad to enter values appear in the knob selection area.
4. Copy/Paste Buttons
The copy and paste buttons allow you to copy a single, or all, the values for the current knobs and
paste them to other knobs. Knob values can be copied between knobs on the same menu, or on
different menus, as long as the values are in the same format. A decimal value, such as 25.5%,
cannot be pasted into a field that requires a whole number, such as 2 Frames.
To copy a specific knob value, select the knob you want to copy and press Copy. The value
appears in the Mem: field.
To copy all knob values, press Copy All. The values for each knob appear in the Mem 1:,
Mem 2:, and Mem 3: fields.
5. Default and Close Buttons
The Default button resets the currently selected knob to the default value. All other knob values
remain unchanged. This is the same functionality as double-pressing the knob.
The Close Window button closes the Punchpad.
