5.4.4 Input/Output Masks
The user interface of a project is primarily made up of input and output
masks. These masks may contain the following:
• Static text
• Text fields
• Variables
• System variables
• Background images
• Set of curves (graph)
• Buttons
• Recipe fields
• Table fields
• Message fields
You can also assign the following functions to an input/output mask:
• Sub-masks
• Help mask
• Background color
• Key functions (soft key function)
5.4.5 Help Masks
To optimize usability, you can create a help mask for each mask and
each input variable. To call help on the operating devices, press the
Help key or the button that has been programmed accordingly.
If data release is not requested, a help text appears for the screen. The
help text for the variable that is currently selected appears, provided
the Editor for entering a variable value has been activated.
The default help mask appears if no specific help mask has been
linked to a mask or a variable.
A help mask is the same size as a normal mask. You can insert static
text, background images, output variables, and tables in a help mask.
You can also link help masks to sub-masks, to ensure that help masks
have a uniform appearance.
