Question:<\/span><\/p>\n

How can I set limits to the number of characters that can be read and written in a Setpoint with a bi-directional connection?<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/span><\/p>\n

To set limits to the writing, insert a script in the Validate <\/i>event that tests the value’s size, in order to validate the writing or not. For example:<\/p>\n

aux = Len(NewValue)
If aux > 5 then
MsgBox “Maximum of 5 digits!”
Cancel = True
End if<\/font><\/p>\n

To set limits to the reading, there are two options:<\/p>\n

1. Using decimal number: set up the decimal places in the Setpoint’s Formatting <\/b>tab. You must also change the KeepFormatWhenEditing <\/i>property to 1-kfAutomatic<\/b>.
2. Using integers: set up the Setpoint’s MaxLimit <\/i>property. For example, if you want to set a limit of 4 characters, the limit must be “9999”. You also must change the EnableLimits <\/i>property to TRUE. <\/p>\n

For more information, check the E3 Scripts Reference Manual<\/a><\/b>. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
