Page view indicator?

Post by drphil69 » Wed Oct 24, 2012 12:25 pm

Hello,

Is there any way to know what page is currently being viewed on the PV750? I have a program where I used button pushes to navigate pages directly (i.e., using button push to "go to view"). Is there any way to know what page is currently being viewed? I need to jump to a reverse camera view when shifter goes into reverse, but only if the customer is on certain pages, as other pages are used for troubleshooting. Is there a variable that tracks this, or are there boolean variables for each page? If so, how do I find them?

Basically, I need to do this: IF (page view = x) OR (page view = y) AND (transvar = -1) THEN (go to view Z).

Thanks,
Phil

Hello drphil69,

There is not a system variable that tells you the current view visible but you can create your own variable and change the value when you show a view.

Hi ksaenz,

Does that mean for every page change I will need to use a state machine instead of just using the 'Go To View' function?

You can still use Go To View to move between views. To fire the calculation event that changes the value of the variable when you enter a new view you can right click on the frame of a view, select Advanced, and add the calculation event that changes the value of the variable.
