The Soft-GRAF HMI can show four kinds of numerical objects:

Boolean value
The first one is a Boolean value which is generated by "g_B_Val" object. It allows to use a text to show its status (True/False), such as “ON”, “OFF”, "enable", "stop" or any user-defined text. The "g_B_Val" can show various status of Boolean operations, for example, it can show a different background and foreground color or to blink if the status of value is True or False, so that to attract the user’s more attention.

Integer value
The second one is an integer value. You can choose the word type (16-bit signed, g_WD_Val) or long type (32-bit signed, g_N_Val). Then decide if converting this integer value before displaying, for example, you can convert -32768 ~ +32767 to -10.0 ~ +10.0 and then display it. You may also specify the number of decimal places. For example, if the converted value is 5.1234 and is set up to show 2 decimal places, it shows 5.12. If it’s not converted, and the decimal places is 2, the original integer value 9,876 will show 98.76.

Another Function for the "g_WD_Val" and "g_N_Val" is to set up the up-limit and lower-limit values. User can set up it to display a text or a different background and foreground color, or to blink if the value is over the limitation, so that to attract the user’s more attention.

Real Value
The real value is a 32-bit (float format) data with a decimal point. Designers can use the "g_F_Val" object to specify the number of decimal places. For example, if set up to display one decimal place, the value 123.456 would be shown as 123.4. For other features are the same as the "g_WD_Val" and "g_N_Val" object. Users can decide if convert the value before displaying, or set up to change the text, the background and foreground color, or to blink when the value is over the limitation.


Message Value
The "g_M_Val" HMI object is used to display a “Message” value which is created by the ISaGRAF program. The “Message” value is a text string (0 ~ 255 bytes) and can be English, Chinese, Russian and so on. The "g_M_Val" supports ISaGRAF Message variables with network address 1 to 1024, so do not set its network address larger than 1024.
