Editing pages (a few pointers)
- Once a page is opened inside the Graphics editor, you can drag elements around with the mouse or with the
keyboard as you like (shift+arrow = 10px movements).
- To open the EditPoint window, double click an element or press Ctrl+E.
- Note the “border” images at X=320 and Y=240 in many of the example files to indicate how big the
multiDISPLAY is. As they are outside the 320x240 drawing area, the converter will simply ignore them.
- Any graphical element can be used, but the naming should follow the conventions like in the “symbols” folder
inside your project folder. (e.g. Filename-0-640.jpg, Filename-1-640.jpg, Filename-2-640.jpg, …)
Graphical elements have to be either .bmp, .gif (dynamic gifs don’t work on the display), .jpg, .jpeg or .png.
- Display points are referenced by their pointID; POINT1 through to POINT250.
Modbus master points are defined by using “MODBUS:” followed by the configuration of the point in the
pointID input field.
- If you want to use a multi-stage image (like the power buttons in the example pages), enter the desired values
through which to toggle separated by spaces in the “Fixed value” field of the EditPoint dialog box:
- Showing the value of a point is done by either selecting a
“Number field” type element, or by ticking the “Show point
value” tick box of a “Text” type element.
- Showing text based on the value of a point (like for instance on/off, day/night or off / startup / slow / fast /
error) is done by selecting a text type element and writing the desired values and corresponding texts in the
yellow box inside the EditPoint dialog box.
