Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a data display device that blinks a character when displaying an error message or the like on a character display device, for example.

In conventional CRT (cathode ray tube) display devices or panel display devices, a cursor blinks to indicate the next column to be input, giving the operator's attention, but there is no need to worry about other display data. Since there was no warning, many mistakes were made, such as operators continuing to input data without knowing that an error had occurred.

This idea was made in view of the above points, and aims to eliminate operational errors and improve operational efficiency by flashing display items such as error messages that require the operator's attention. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a data display device that provides the following information.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows an example of the data to be blinked in this embodiment, and 1 is the blink start code (hereinafter referred to as B).
2 is a blink end code (hereinafter abbreviated as BED code 2), 3 is data to be displayed blinking, and in this example, a new error is displayed blinking.

Appropriate codes are set in advance for the BST code 1 and BED code 2.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram for blinking and displaying the data 3, in which 11 is a host computer, 12 is a main controller connected to this host computer 11 and sends and receives various signals, and 13 is a blink signal from the main controller 12. Set the above host computer 1 by
a flip-flop that is reset by a single signal;
14 is a blink start address register 15 which sets the address of the first character (in this case, 2) of data 3 to be blinked when the BST code 1 is received;
16 is a blink end address register that sets the address of the last character (- in this case) of data 3 to be blinked when receiving the BED code 2, and 16 is a register between the BST code 1 and BED code 2, that is, data 3. A scan counter 17 counts the number of times the last code of the data is scanned, and a scan counter 17 counts the count number of the scan counter 16 when the foot flop 13 is set, and the count number is n times, for example. Then the main controller 12
It is a link counter that emits an output.

A display device 18 receives signals from the main controller 12 and displays various data.

In the above configuration, when BST code 1 is input, the blink start address register 14 selects the next character of BST code 1, that is, the stage 3 to be blinked.
Set the address of the second first character of .

and) BED code 2 in link end register 15
When this BED code 2 is received, the address of the last character of the character 3 that is to be flashed or blinked is set.

Next, the scan counter 16 repeatedly scans the character data from the set plink start address to the plink end address, that is, ÷ error error, and counts the number of scans of the last code.

Then, this number of scans is counted by a printing counter 17, and an output is output once for every n number of scans.

When the main control 12 receives the output of the printer, counter, and counter 17, it sends it to the character data display device 18 from the link start address to the link end address.

- That is, each time the scan counter 16 counts the side blade of the data 3 to be blinked, the data, that is, the error is displayed on the screen of the display device 18 once.

The blinking period can be arbitrarily set by appropriately setting the value of n.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the error message is displayed blinking, but the error message is not limited to this, and it is of course possible to display the error message blinking in the same manner as in the above embodiment, as long as it is data that requires the operator's attention.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, specific data that requires careful attention can be displayed blinking on the display, so it is a data display device that can reduce operational errors and improve efficiency. can be provided.
