Frequently Asked Questions

Programmable Terminal Topic: Create A Group of Buttons in NS Programmable Terminal

 

FAQ No. FAQ00198

 

Question

In the NS-series Programmable Terminals, is there a way to create a group of buttons so that all of the other buttons go OFF when one of the buttons is ON (i.e., only 1 button can be ON at a time)?



Answer

These buttons, also known as radio buttons, can be created by specifying the same group number to the buttons on the Group Tab Page (an Expansion Tab) of the ON/OFF Button Properties Dialog Box. Actually, the radio buttons can be created by setting the desired buttons' action to Alternate, and unifying all of the buttons into the same group on the Group Tab Page, which is displayed when the Expansion Tabs are being displayed.
