What is a popup?

A popup is a small window superimposed on the HMI device screen. A popup opens in response to an event or an action performed. An event configured with a
Popup Open
command opens a popup. Interacting with graphic elements on the HMI device screen while a popup is open is not allowed. You can interact with only the popup until you close the popup. Only one popup can open on the HMI device screen at a time.
Popups can provide:
  • A method of showing data, including diagnostic information, related to the screen.
  • Additional information without having to open another screen.
  • A prompt to perform a task.
  • Access to additional events and animations.
A popup has a caption at the top by default that describes the contents of the popup.
Add graphic elements to a popup like any other screen. A popup does not change size when resizing or copying and pasting graphic elements. Create property definitions for a popup or its graphic elements to have those properties change the popup or its contents through an event or animation.
