As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 1 displays a CRT 12 for displaying a screen, a mouse 13 for moving a cursor to perform a click operation, and a coordinate position on the CRT 12 when the mouse 13 is clicked. It has a coordinate position input unit 11 for reading. Further, the coordinate position input unit 11 sends the read coordinate positions P1 and P2 to the parameter default value display selection control unit 3 and the parameter input screen display control unit 6.

Further, the parameter default value display selection control unit 3
Reads the parameter ID 211 for each of the parameter default value storage records 21 in the parameter default value file 2 and sends the option display signal S1 to the parameter default value display selection unit 4 having each type of the parameter ID 211.

On the other hand, there are as many parameter default value display selection units 4 as there are parameter IDs 211. Therefore,
In the case of the parameter default value file 2 shown in FIG. 3, since the parameter IDs 211 are four types of color, line type, fill, and axis type, there are also four parameter default value display selection units 4.

Then, each parameter default value display selection section 4 uses the option display signal S1 as a trigger to set the parameter ID.
A list of options corresponding to 211 is displayed on the CRT 12. As a result, the parameter default value setting window 8 of FIG. 2 corresponding to the parameter default value file 2 of FIG.
12 is displayed on the left side.

Therefore, when the coordinate position P1 is the coordinate in the parameter default value setting window 8 of FIG. 2, the parameter default value display selection control unit 3 having input the coordinate position P1 from the coordinate position input unit 11 The coordinate position P1 is obtained as to which coordinate in the option list, and the coordinate position P1 is sent to the corresponding parameter default value display selection unit 4. Parameter coordinate default value display selection section 4 is triggered by this coordinate position P1.
Changes the display of the option list in the parameter default value setting window 8 so that the option selected by the coordinate position P1 is highlighted, and is selected in the parameter default value 212 corresponding to the parameter ID 211. The value representing the parameter default value is written.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the input parameter file 5 stores a plurality of input parameter records 51.
Has a parameter index 511, a parameter ID 512, and an input parameter value 513.

The parameter input screen display control unit 6
Sends the parameter input field display signal S2 including the input parameter record 51 to the parameter input field display input section 7 for each of the input parameter records 51 in the input parameter file 5.

On the other hand, there are the same number of parameter input field display input sections 7 as the input parameter records 51,
Each input field identified by the parameter index 511 is displayed on the right side of the CRT 12 by using each of the parameter input field display signals S2 as a trigger. Therefore,
Corresponding to the input parameter file 5 in FIG. 4, the parameter input field display input unit 7 displays each input field in the parameter input screen 9 on the CRT 12 in FIG.

Therefore, the parameter input screen display control unit 6
Is the position coordinate P sent by the coordinate position input unit 11.
When 2 is the coordinate in the parameter input screen 9, the corresponding input field is obtained, and the parameter default value setting signal S3 is sent to the parameter input field display input section 7 displaying this.

Further, triggered by the parameter default value setting signal S3, the parameter input field display input section 7 causes the parameter ID 21 in the parameter default value storage record 21 to be displayed.
1 is read, the parameter default value 212 corresponding to the corresponding parameter ID 211 is read, and the parameter input screen 9
The display of the default value of the input field in is changed, and the corresponding input parameter value 513 in the input parameter file 5 is transcribed.
