Data Fields

We are now ready to place data fields on the screen. Select the Data

Field button and a box will appear on the screen. Position the cursor over this box, hold the left mouse button down and then drag the box to the desired location on the screen. When the box is correctly positioned, you can release the mouse button and it will remain where you placed it.

Select Unit

When you drag a data field onto the screen and right click on it, a popup menu will appear with three selections. The first item is Select Unit.

You must select which unit will be polled for the data to fill in this field.

The screen below shows a Zone Controller on Loop #1 and Address #1 was selected.

These data boxes can be repositioned any time you want to after they have been placed on the screen. Simply repeat the dragging procedure to adjust the position

Now we need to identify which unit we will poll for the data, what data field we want to display, and any font or color changes we would like to make to the data field. To do this, right click on the data field and the following pop-up menu will appear.

Once a selection is made, it will be added to the pop-up menu so that you can tell that a unit has already been assigned to the selected data field.
