; the data or on scrolling through the list and the
; number of visible lines in the list is used to smaller than
; NumLinesPerReq. If data exchange between the HMI and NCK
; proceeds slowly (with the NCU 810 D), this value should be
; reduced to 17 in order to achieve a response time of
; around 1 s when retrieving data from a complete list
; in the background. The setting applies to all lists
; for which no individual settings have been made.
; Individual settings are useful if a list contains a large
; number of columns.
; In this case the value should be lowered to about 10 or 5.
; Too many columns in a list that is in frequent use
; is not recommended, because the time needed to retrieve
; data for the entire list would be too long and the user would have
to
; wait a long time for the display.
; To set an individual list to individual setting, add the following
line
; to the section (e.g. [2_ToolList]) of the corresponding list:
; "NumLinesPerReq".
; Use 27 for NumLinesPerReq=27 from Version P4.3.8!
; Up until P4.3.8 the value 7 worked well.
; Width of the bitmap image for the current tool and the
; current tool magazine location in the list displays.
; Unit: number of characters; the width of a character is
; set by "ColumnWidthTwipsPerAlphaCharacter" or
; "ColumnWidthTwipsPerNumericCharacter". Lowest value: 1,
; highest value: 32, default: 5
; User-defined images can also be used:
; if the file name is specified without a path or with the path
MMC2,
; then the system searches for the bitmap file in the directories
"user", "oem",
; "add_on" and "mmc2". ; The first hit is then
; used. It is not advisable to generate user-defined bitmaps
; that are too large. The ratio of width to height should
; roughly correspond to the display in the lists, to avoid
; distorting the display.
; Use WidthOfActBitmapsInCharacters = 7, if $SC_WEAR_TRANSFORM <> 0
; and G56-Reset-Value <> TOWSTD
WidthOfActBitmapsInCharacters = 5
WhichActChannelText=ChannelName,4
; default, show first 4 characters of channel name in lists actual
; tool indicator
; WhichActChannelText=ChannelNumber ;show channel number in lists
; actual tool indicator
; If you need to display more characters of channel name, please
; increase "WidthOfActBitmapsInCharacters".
; For better readability modify bitmaps or use lpaat.bmp,
lpaatd0.bmp,
