MMI8000 has some internal bits to take care of what some would consider annoying issues.
THE BEEP...
Some people like the fact that the touchscreen beeps when you touch an object. The audible feedback is reassuring. For others the beep is a continual annoyance. What to do?
Use a Set Bit object with Write address LB9019, Attribute "Set OFF when window opens", no Shape and no Label to set system bit 9019 OFF. Place it on the common window or startup window.
THE CURSOR...
The pointy arrow cursor lets you know where the last touch happened, but sometimes it just gets in the way when trying to read a number or text. What to do?
Use a Set Bit object with Write address LB9018, Attribute "Set ON when window opens", no Shape and no Label to set system bit 9018 ON. Place it on the common window or startup window.
THE HMI's SYSTEM BAR (that little rectangle with the "<" sign in it in the lower right corner)...
The System bar expansion button always appears on the opening screen on power up. It goes away after the opening screen changes. But, really it is still there. If you touch the lower right corner it will pop back up. Operators can go in and look at some system parameters and pop up keypads that overlay the project running behind them. What to do?
Use a Set Bit object with Write address LB9020, Attribute "Set OFF when window opens", no Shape and no Label to set system bit 9020 OFF. Place it on the common window or startup window.
NOTE: Just a word of caution. Once the bar is hidden with this method there is no way to go in access the system settings unless you make another button someplace in your project to show it or you download another project without the Set Bit object.
I hope this helps all of the frustrated project developers out there.
