Picture objects ► ET/MT-3x6, ET/MT-2x8 ► Falcon ► Picture objects ► Create a text list
The texts programmed in the Text lists are clearly allocated to a value or value range.
Text lists allow the indication of a text depending on a value in the variable (actual value). On the other hand, the assigned value can be entered into the variable (actual value) by preselecting a text. It is not possible and not allowed to combine both possibilities.
