RGrow Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I need to be able to open the Keypad with a Button ( not touching the Numeric Variable) and store the keypad value in an MI where I can use it later in the program. I need this because , depending on a switch setting, I need a Numeric Variable to: If Switch = "0" (System Automatic Mode ) then show value from an Analog Input. If Switch = "1" (System Manual Mode) show the MI storing the keypad entered value. I can do the switching, I just need to know how to open the Keypad with a button.

MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted May 31, 2017 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't believe you can open the keypad without referencing a numeric variable because the input from the keypad must have a place to go. However, you can accomplish what you wish easily enough. Just copy the analog value into the numeric variable when switch = 0 and disable it. When the switch = 1, then re-enable the variable to allow keypad input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
