Configure automatic diagnostics table rows for readability and touch

Configure properties to change the displayed font, font size, and row padding (the distance between cell content and cell borders) in a table. Font size affects row height. Padding makes tapping rows feasible on an HMI device. Using a small font size and no padding makes it difficult to tap a single row in an alarm table on the HMI device. Row height is determined by the
FontSize
property value and twice the value of the
RowPadding
property. The default
FontSize
(nine points) and
RowPadding
(14 pixels) property values result in an approximate row height of one-third inch. There is no minimum or maximum font size or row padding. To be able to tap single alarm rows on the HMI device, specify optimal font sizes and row padding for a table.
To configure Automatic Diagnostics table rows for readability and touch
  1. On the screen, select the
    Automatic Diagnostics
    or
    Automatic Diagnostics History
     table.
  2. In the
    Properties
     window, click the
    Properties
    tab.
  3. Expand the
    Appearance
    node.
  4. Ensure that the automatic diagnostics table is readable and allows enough room within rows for touch.
  5. Configure the properties:
    • Font Name
      .
      Select a font.
    • Font Size
      . Enter a font size readable for users on the HMI device.
    • Row Padding
      .
      In pixels, enter the distance between the cell content and the cell border.
The sample data of the automatic diagnostics table reflects the selected
FontName
,
FontSize
, and
RowPadding
 property values. The changes also appear in the automatic diagnostics table on the HMI device. The
Details
 pane of an automatic diagnostics table does not reflect changes to these properties.
