As with most windows applications, standard full screen, and resizing of screens and column
widths apply here as well. You may want to make the CU full screen and widen the columns for
easier display. Additionally, to widen the Library Tree or the Project Tree, click on either of those
tabs on the top of the column and they will expand so all the contents can be read in full. Clicking
again will return the column to its original size.
Notes
The large notes area is used to enter information about the project we are working on. From here
we can also set up a few global Characteristics of the Flex as well as define how the Flex will operate
under certain conditions.
POWER UP
With this feature set to Yes, the FLEX will perform a series of actions when power is applied to the
panel. This is commonly used to reset the system to a predetermined state after a power failure.
This will be discussed in more detail later on as well.
AUTO PRESS BEEP
This sets the FLEX to provide audio feedback when any button is pressed.
AUTO ALTERNATE GRAPHIC
This sets the FLEX to show an alternate color button with a button press.
LCD BRIGHTNESS
This sets the level of brightness for the LCD panel in a range from 60% down to 1%. The actual full
brightness as determined when the Flex was developed was 60%, It was considered washout at any
brightness level above that. Earlier versions of the program had 100% listed on the configuration
page. In reality that was setting the Flex panel to 60% brightness. This version of the FCB will give
the programmer and end user much more control over brightness so it was decided to show the
actual brightness levels.
LCD DIM
The LCD can be set to dim when the panel has not been used for a predetermined period of time
after the last button press. It will dim to 50% of the LCD BRIGHTNESS setting.
