CREATE A REGISTER A tag can reference an entire word in PLC memory, called a register. Select ADD button to complete the creation of the register tag.
CREATE A COIL A tag can reference a bit in PLC memory, called a coil. PRINT Selection box that allows the NT2S screen data to print out the top serial port. MIN TIME A minimum time can be assigned to assure an operator can view the screen. If a number is entered in this field, screens will display for the specified minimum time. This is useful when displaying chained messages, confirming function key action, or displaying alarm/error messages. CHAIN TO If a screen number is placed in this box, the current screen will be displayed following the specified screen. The screens in a "chain" will each display for the specified time in the MIN TIME box.

EMBED BIT TEXT This selection button launches an editing window where letters are assigned to bit values.
Once the text is assigned to bit values and OK is selected, text placeholders will appear in the display window. These placeholders can be positioned by adding characters before the placeholders. In this case, spaces were added at the far left of the second line to center the text.
The Embedded Bit Text can be edited by selecting a placeholder in the NT2S display window. The program will allow up to 32 single character bit text messages per screen. It is also possible to have one of the states, On or Off, to have no text displayed.

KEYS FOR SCREEN The buttons shown in the lower right hand side of the screen dialog are for editing the function keys for that screen. This would be considered local programming for function keys, effective only for the current screen number. Global programming must be performed by creating a Function Key screen, or using the Edit menu, Function Keys. Double click on the red key to program, or green keys to change programming. The first dialog box below will be displayed if a register tag is chosen in the register list box. Choosing a coil tag will display dialog box at the bottom.
Bits can be controlled in several ways. Turn Off and Turn On functions force set the bit to the 0 or 1 position. [. . . ] No other bits in that register are affected HOLD ON If the bit is ON, there will be no change to the bit. If the bit is OFF the display performs a FORCE SET of that bit when the key is pressed and a FORCE RESET when released. No other bits in that register are affected HOLD OFF If the bit is OFF, there will be no change to the bit. If the bit is ON the display performs a FORCE RESET of that bit when the key is pressed and a FORCE SET when released. [. . . ]
