How Do Data Entry Objects Behave at Run Time?

The following list shows the data entry methods you can choose from the Data Entry Expert and how each method behaves when the associated tag requires electronic signature:

Numeric/Alphabetic Entry – When the operator enters a new value and clicks OK, the Electronic Signature dialog box appears.

Slider Entry – When the operator moves the slider bar and clicks OK or enters a value in the edit box and clicks OK, the Electronic Signature dialog box appears.

    NOTE: When using the slider bar with electronic signature, you cannot also use the Write Continuously option. When the application developer chooses the Slider Entry option, he should clear the Write Continuously check box in the Data Entry Expert dialog box. If the Write Continuously option is left enabled, electronic signature is ignored at run time.

PushButton Entry – When the operator clicks a toggle button in the PushButton Entry dialog box, the Electronic Signature dialog box appears.

Ramp Entry – Each time the operator clicks one of the four ramp buttons, the Electronic Signature dialog box appears.
