Mandatory fields for custom screenset

[cseyler]

Hi, through this post, I would share information about mandatory fields required in a screenset to ensure everything is working well.
I encountered really nasty issues, hard to debug when developping my custom screenset from scratch. So I will updated this post each time I found something.

Field 907 (devicetype) : this field is mandatory if you want to use the FaultSignals plugin
The plugin seems to use this field to set its min and max value for the pin/port up/down controls
Forgetting this feild, you will have this error message in the console :

Code: Select all

UCDevice (InternalNew): Device type '0' invalid
UCDevice (SetupDevice): Device 'None' not supported

If you already have a saved settings, displaying the configuration panel of the FaultSignals plugin will lead to an "out of range" error. If not, the config panel is showing up, but, it is impossible to set a port or a pin

At least one field on the jog panel
Whatever the field. Even if your screenset do not use a jog panel, you need the add at least on field on the jog panel. Otherwise, clicking twice in the MDI input field lead to an exception

Didn' find this post before I did my screenset
I don't have a jog panel and find that this bug causes an exception if you double click on any input field or even click and use the esc button

Even if you do not have any jog panel, just add :

Code: Select all

AS3jog.Setjogpaneltabsize(1);
AS3jog.Setscreensize(1, 1);
AS3jog.Addfield("", "Arial", "left", 24, 2039584, 955, 22, 1565-955, "showfieldnb", -1.7976931348623157E+308, 1.7976931348623157E+308, 0, 1);


And it should be fine
