Key Repeat Functionality

Post by schaefen » Thu May 09, 2013 8:43 am

Good Morning,

I'm trying to utilize the key repeat functionality in Powervision 2.6 with a PV450 to take me to a hidden screen by holding down the button for 10 seconds. My understanding of the functionality is if I map a view with the key repeat, I will be taken to the view once the wait before starting timer expires. However, if I try to implement the above with 10000ms for the wait timer, nothing happens. Am I using this functionality incorrectly, is my understanding wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Below are the steps to recreate the config.
- Open a blank config.
- Add a new page in addition to the Main page(Page designer tab).
- Go to Programming tab, Create a new User Event and name it GoToView.
- Under this GoToView user event, Click on Actions tab.
- Now click (+) to select an item from the list.
- UIApp -> Show Item -> Main Layer.Default New Page View.
- Now go back to Page designer tab.
- On the Main Page, Select a button, Edit Key Behaviour window pops up.
- Under Key Repeat, Select Fire Event, then select the new user event you just created (GoToView).
- Also make sure you have the Key repeat interval time assigned there.
- Click OK.
- Now you should be able to hold that button and navigate to the new page you added.

I have also attached a config which does this.
Hope this helps.
