Numeric field options

A numeric field allows users to enter numbers.

Option Description
Default The default value for the field which appears on the device panel.
Minimum Specifies the minimum value (inclusive) permitted in the field. For example, a value of “10” for this option would allow all values greater than or equal to 10.
Maximum Specifies the maximum value (inclusive) permitted in the field. For example, a value of “50” for this option would permit any value less than or equal to 50.
Precision The number of digits after decimal point. If the precision is set to zero, then the device will only accept integers. If the precision is set to a value greater than zero, then the user may select the “*” button on the device to input a value that requires a decimal point. The default is 0. The maximum is 5.
Precision Validation

Specifies what happens when a user attempts to enter an incorrect value:

  • Fix precision at panel: The user can only enter a correct value.
  • Fix precision at panel with error message: An error message is displayed if the user enters an incorrect value, which must be corrected before the user can continue. This is the default setting.
  • Ignore panel entry and send correct data with message: A warning message is displayed if the user enters an incorrect value, which is rounded up or down, depending on the Precision setting.
