Message Text
This screen element can be used to display texts that are stored beforehand in
a text table inside the program. A text can have a maximum length of 16
characters. Additional blanks are added to the displayed text if it is shorter than
the element. A message text is used for indicating status changes in the
process. In order to visually indicate changes of this kind, you can link message
texts with a variable (associated variable). When the variable concerned
assumes a specified value, the Pico GFX-70 outputs the appropriate message
text. The default text is output if the variable assumes a value that is not
assigned to a text.
Programming in PicoSoft Pro
1. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the Message text screen
element into the screen.
2. Position the mouse over the screen element and move it to the required
position with the left mouse button depressed.
The height of the screen element frame depends on the font size selected. Two
sizes are available:
• Normal font size
• Double font size
You can change the font size by activating the context menu (right mouse
button) or by dragging the selection handle at the bottom edge of the element
frame concerned. When increasing the font size, ensure that there is sufficient
space available underneath the element.
The width of the screen element frame can be scaled as required by dragging
the selection handle on the sides.
