Selecting Language And Character Set - Siemens SIMATIC TD 200 User Manual

Selecting Language and Character Set

The first dialog box in the TD 200 Configuration Wizard allows you to select the
language and character set. Use the drop-down list box shown in Figure 2-2 to
select the language in which the TD 200 menus display. This selection does not
affect the text of the user messages displayed on the TD 200.
Note
If you are using a version of STEP 7–Micro/WIN prior to release 3.1, you cannot
define an alternate character set for the TD 200 in the TD 200 Wizard. Use the
wizard to create the TD200 configuration in the data block. Then see Appendix E
for instructions on how to modify the data block to use an alternate character set.
If you are using STEP 7–Micro/WIN 3.1 but want to define an alternate character
set for a TD200 configuration created with an earlier version of
STEP 7–Micro.WIN, see Appendix E for instructions.
Refer to Appendix A, Section A.4 through Section A.8 for character codes for
other character sets.

Figure 2-2 Wizard: Language and Character Set
The character set entry selects the character set used by the TD 200.
The original TD 200 and the bar graph character sets match the character set used
by the TD 200 prior to version 2.0. The other character sets are provided to match
the characters used by the Microsoft Windows operating system.
For example, the Latin 1 character set is the character set used by U.S. and
Western European versions of Windows. PCs running this version of Windows will
see the same characters in the TD 200 Configuration Wizard as on the TD 200
display.
