Numerical Keyboard

The number keyboard display offers an on-screen keyboard for numerical input.

Simple numerical input by clicking once on the desired key and complete the input by clicking the "OK" key (This will write the current input to the given address node "target"). The "delete" key can be used to delete single numbers or to remove the whole input by holding it at least for 1 second. To abort and escape the input it is necessary to click the "X" button on the middle of the right side.

There are a few different ways to limit the numerical input. A simple way to allow an input only between a given range, is to set the "minimum" and / or "maximum" parameters. To limit the number of the digits before and / or after the decimal point, it is necessary to set these parameters. The "query confirm" parameter can be used to display a confirm message before the input value will be written.
