Image
User generated images can be displayed on the LCD during your program. For best results
use 128x64 pixel black and white BMP files that match the screen resolution. The software
can load and convert most images files (.bmp; .jpg; .tif) for display on the LCD. However,
images that are not 128x64 pixels may become distorted or clipped and color images will be
converted to “black and white”.
.
To use an image, click on the “Read Image File” button. Locate and select the image file to
be used. Click “Open“ to load the file. Click the “OK” button in the bottom right corner of the
selection panel to save the changes. The image file will now be counted in the “Number of
images” total on the “Memory Use” tab.
To re-use an image file in the same control program, click the “Use Existing Image” button.
Select the image from the pop-up list that includes the image title and a picture of the image.
After the existing file is chosen, click the “OK” button in the pop-up window and the “OK”
button in the bottom right corner of the selection window to save changes.
Select one of two options for displaying the image:
Display Image –
the image will be displayed until another image or text is displayed or
the flowchart hits a stop.
Clear Image –
remove the previous LCD image and return to a blank screen.
NOTES:
- A control program can use up to 32 images.
- An image that is loaded into a control program only counts towards the image total once
and can be re-used over and over.
- If you accidentally exceed the 32 image limit, simply delete the output icon containing the
last image uploaded. This will remove the image from the control program.
