14.11.5.1 Show Limit Value - Basic

Font

Set the font.

Font Type

Choose a font type for the Limit Value from [Stroke Font], [Standard Font], [Image Font] or [Bitmap Font].

Stroke Font and Standard Font

  • Standard Font

The vertical and horizontal dimensions of a character can be specified in bitmap font. When you magnify/shrink characters, the outline may become rough or the letter may appear compressed.

  • Stroke Font

This is an outline font where the ratio of the character height/width is fixed. The letters will have a smooth outline even if you magnify/shrink them. However, this font uses more disk space on the display unit.

Size

Choose a font size for the Limit Value.

  • Standard Font

(8 to 64)×(8 to 128)

  • Standard Font (Fixed Size)

Choose from [6x10], [8x13], or [13x23] (Displays single-byte characters only)

  • Stroke Font

6 to 127

Text Attributes

Select the text attributes.

  • Standard Font

Choose from [Standard], [Bold], [Shadow] (When using the fixed font size [6x10], select either [Standard] or [Shadow].)

  • Stroke Font

Choose from [Standard], [Bold], [Outline]

  • When using [Auto-size Font] with either [7-segment Display] or [Stroke Font], the [Text Attribute] cannot be defined.

Image Font

Window font will be converted to bitmap images and displayed on a display unit.

  • When Image Font is selected, text for the Show Limit Value part is automatically registered. Once registered, you can check the content in the [Select Font] field.

  • A proportional font cannot be selected in the Show Limit Value part.

Select Font

The [Image Font] dialog box appears. Select the font, style, and size, and Character Set.

Bitmap Font

You can use prepared bitmap images to uniquely express numeric values and symbols.

Font Size

  • Width

Set the Bitmap font width between 1 to 200.

  • Height

Set the Bitmap font height between 1 to 400.

Transparent

Set whether the background of the bitmap font will be transparent.

  • Depending on the model, you may not be able to use the transparent setting.

Settings

Preview all characters, such as numeric values and symbols, of the selected model.

Maximum Value/Minimum Value Color

Numeral Value Color

Set a color for the min value/max value.

  • This cannot be set when Bitmap Font is selected.

Plate Color

Set the plate color for the min value/max value.

  • When the [Plate Color] is set to transparent, a Data Display and a Message Display will be placed on the front layer and displayed overtop other objects. Too many objects in the front layer may reduce the speed of the display's redrawing speed.
    For details on the Layer Separator, refer to the following.

  • The transparent feature of the plate color on Window screens cannot be set to ST3000 and GP3200 series models. If it is set up, a warning appears when you save a project. If the project is run on the display unit, the plate color will not be filled. The Show Limit Value continues to display even after input is complete.
