display.inputvalue()
Remarks
(cont.)
After sending this command, script execution pauses for the operator to enter a
value and press the ENTER key.
If limits are used, the operator will not be able to input values outside the minimum
and maximum limits.
For positive and negative entry ("+" sign used for the value field and/or the
exponent field), polarity of a non-zero value or exponent can be toggled by
positioning the cursor on the polarity sign and turning the navigation wheel. Polarity
will also toggle when using the navigation wheel to decrease or increase the value
or exponent past zero. A zero value or exponent (for example, +00) is always
positive and cannot be toggled to negative polarity.
After sending this command and pressing the EXIT key, value will return nil.
