Animations
New animations that require an AVI file. The advantages are that the animation is contained in one file. The other
advantage is that the animation runs with virtually no CPU time, so the system’s performance will not suffer.
Properties
Name - The Name property makes the object easier for the RealEdit programmer to identify. Often it is a good idea
to use the same name for related objects, such as a Data Value that represents a Constant.
Top - The top position, in twips, of the object.
Left - The Left position, in twips, of the object.
Height - The Height value, in twips, of the object.
Width - The Width value, in twips, of the object.
Animation (.AVI) File - The full path and file name to the reference file
Tip - ToolTip text to display. The ToolTip text floats over the object when the mouse pointer is hovered within the
object’s bounds.
Visible When Inactive - True: Image freezes when animation is inactive, False: Image disappears
AVI Animation Caveats: The animation cannot be resized by changing the size of the area the animation will cover.
The animation must be an AVI file. We have free AVI editors, so send in the pictures you would like assembled and
they can be snapped together in only a few minutes. The animation can only be started or stopped.
Event Lists
Event Lists show the current status of all configured Events bits on the selected channels.
