Visualization with Pico GFX-70
In the following description, the term “visualization” is used for the display
and operator function.
While you can enter the circuit diagram via PicoSoft as well as directly on the
device, all the visualization functions can only be programmed using PicoSoft
Pro. The visualization functions can then be loaded from there to the Pico
GFX-70 or onto a memory module (download function).
This chapter uses the examples supplied (from version 6.1) to describe the
basic methods of designing visualization systems using PicoSoft Pro. The
PicoSoft Help system provides a more detailed description of the software.
Screens PicoSoft Pro manages the visualization elements in screens. These elements
can be inserted in the screens and are called screen elements in the following
description. You can use up to 255 screen elements inside one screen. Due to
the memory allocation of the system, it is more advisable to use several screens
(see Memory Division, on page 5-2).
The following screen elements are available:
• Static text
• Bit display
• Date and time
• Bitmap
• Numerical value
• Value entry
• Message text
The individual screen elements are explained in the examples.
