be enough space and the effective period must either be disabled or shown on a
separate line.
Enable extended user interface:
This option is available if the device firmware
is 4.2.0 or newer and there is only one data point connected to the control.
Activating this option sets the control to extended user mode.
The following options are available when the control is in standard mode:
Scroll daylist:
This option enables a scroll bar for the list of days (left column).
If the number of total days is known and the control is sized such that all days are
visible, the scroll bar may be disabled to save space in horizontal direction.
Scroll time table:
This option enables a scroll bar for the time table (right
column). Since the number of entries in this table is usually not known, it is a
good idea to keep this option checked. However, special applications may benefit
from the possibility of removing the scroll bar and gain even more space.
Don’t show effective period:
This option can be used to hide the effective
period altogether. Useful to either save space or to make sure that the effective
period is never modified through this control.
The following options are available when the control is in extended UI mode:
Hide priority in event list:
This option will hide the priority in the event view to
simplify the view and gain more space for the value and date pattern names.
12 hour time format (am/pm):
Changes the display of time from 24 hour to 12
hour format.
Use am/pm as prefix:
Available when 12 hour mode is enabled, tells the control
to use the strings for AM and PM as a prefix instead of a suffix. This option is
required for some languages to yield correct 12 hour time representation.
Use year/month/day suffix:
This option is available when the date format is set
to ISO-8601. It changes the date format to add the localized strings for year,
month, and day as suffix to each date component, replacing the hyphens. This
option is required for some languages to yield commonly used date
representations, for example Japanese: 2011
年
12
月
14
日
Use hour/minute suffix:
This option is available when the date format is set to
ISO-8601. It changes the time format to add the localized strings for hour and
minute as a suffix. Used for some languages to yield commonly used time
representations, for example Japanese: 5
時
24
分
Use event colors for value:
This option changes the way the event colors are
used to draw the weekly overview. Please see section 9.5.9.5 about the two
different modes.
Follow current date:
This option causes the control to switch back to the weekly
overview and show the current week, after the device was idle for some time.
The idle time is controlled via the setting ‘
Dim backlight after…
’ in the project
settings, since after this time, the device dims down the backlight and goes into
idle mode. Also, this option will cause the control to follow the current date
while the device is idle, meaning that the weekly overview page will be updated
to show the current day whenever the date changes (for example at midnight).
Use simplified priority scheme:
This option hides the numerical priority values
from the user and instead provides a drop-down list of four fixed levels to choose
