4.2 Defining softkey menus

4.1.6

Using display images/graphics

Use of graphics
A distinction is made between:
● Display images / graphics in the graphic area.
● Help displays illustrating, for example, individual variables, which are superimposed in the
graphic area.
● More Help displays can be configured instead of short text or an input/output field, which
you position where you like.
Storage locations
The image matching the resolution of the connected monitor is searched for in the associated
resolution directories in the following sequence:
[System user directory] /ico/ico<Resolution>
[System oem directory] /ico/ico<Resolution>
[System add_on directory] /ico/ico<Resolution>
If the image is not displayed or not found, copy it into one of the following directories for a
resolution of 640 x 480 pixels:
[System user directory] /ico/ico640
[System oem directory] /ico/ico640
[System add_on directory] /ico/ico640
Note
With the different panel resolutions, the images are positioned proportionally.
4.2 Defining softkey menus
Definition
The term softkey menu is used to refer to all the horizontal and vertical softkeys displayed on
a screen form. In addition to the existing softkey menus, it is possible to define other menus,
which partially or completely overwrite the existing menus.
The names of the softkeys are predefined. Not all softkeys need to be assigned.
HSx x 1 - 8, Horizontal softkeys 1 to 8
VSy y 1 - 8, Vertical softkeys 1 to 8
