HMI Embedded sl automatically finds the resolution of the connected monitor and searches
for the desired display image first in the associated resolution directory. If it is not found
there, HMI Embedded sl searches for the display image in the next smaller resolution
directory until – if it doesn't find the display image earlier – it reaches directory ico640.
Procedure
Procedure when integrating the bitmaps (customer displays):
1. Integration on HMI Embedded sl
2. Generate BMP files using Microsoft Paint, Version 4.0 or higher
3. Use the arj.exe supplied (Version 2.41) to archive the BMP files into archive CUS.ARJ or,
Limits
Archiving is optional. However, it must be noted that the CF card has space for at least 10
MB.
A bitmap can be assigned to any softkey if the softkey text is preceded by 2 backslashes.
The text behind the backslashes is then interpreted as the name of the file that contains the
bitmap.
For example, in ALUC.TXT 85000 0 0 "\\mybitmap.bmp"
Note
The display colors might not appear in the same format in HMI Embedded sl and in Paint.
Display building, HMI Advanced
Graphic programs can be freely selected provided that they are capable of generating the
prescribed formats. Graphics, display images and Help displays can have the following
format:
● Bitmap (BMP)
● Windows Metafile (WMF)
● Icon (ICO)
2-18
alternatively, archive each BMP file in a separate archive with the file name of the BMP
file and extension ".BM_"
For example:
– Several files per archive:
arj a cus.arj my_file1.bmp my_file2.bmp my_file3.bmp my_file4.bmp
– One file per archive:
arj a my_file1.bm_ my_file1.bmp
