1/ Create a custom graphic
Using the precise file size mentioned above (632x408, 8 bit, 240 colours) create a graphic that will be seen in the local AK-cs screen.
When designing the graphic, consider that sufficient space is required to map system parameters. For best results, a clean simple
image works best with space for mapped parameters.
2/ Save the graphic
Upon completion of the graphic, save the image in both bit map and Jpeg format (two separate files). the Bit map file will be used for
the AK-cs and the Jpeg is used for the remote browser connection. Both files are saved in the AK-cs.
3/ Open graphic in RMT tool
start the rMt software and navigate to the File menu. select File, new (File->new), navigate to the saved bit map image and click
open. Under the Vizedit tab your image should now be displayed. Any errors in loading the image typically indicates that incorrect file
attributes have been used - check pixel size, colour.
