Changing monitor settings

Adapting the screen settings
The screen settings on the HMI device must match the settings in the project. To achieve a
high color depth on the HMI device, use objects with the same color depth on your
configuring PC. Objects with higher color depth need more computing power on the HMI
device. If you are monitoring and controlling time-critical processes, use a lower color depth
during configuration.
NOTICE
Changed screen orientation takes effect only after reboot
With touch HMI devices, a change to the screen orientation only takes effect after you
reboot the HMI device. The configuration file is also deleted. Adapt the configuration to the
new screen orientation and transfer the project again to the HMI device.
Therefore, do not change the screen orientation in ongoing plant operation.
Requirement
The Control Panel is open.
