Creating process-related graphics on the PC
The process-related graphic always consists of two files:
1.
The background graphic (*.bmp)
2.
A configuration file (*.ini)
• Process-related graphics can only be created on the PC.
• The file names are prespecified:
"PP_GROUP_<xx>.bmp" and "PP_GROUP_<xx>.ini"
<xx> = 01..10 (Group 1..10, caution: always 2 digits).
• An individual process-related graphic can be created for every group (max. 10).
• To be able to load the process-related graphic at the device, the two files for the process-
related graphic have to be in the root directory of the SD card or the USB stick.
• Templates for creating process-related graphics can be found in the "Templates" directory
on the CD-ROM of the PC software provided.
