CONFIGURING THE COLOR VIRTUAL HMI
ACTION DESCRIPTIONS
THE GOTO PAGE ACTION
This action is used to instruct the G3 to show a new page. The options are shown below…
• The Target Page property is used to indicate which page should be displayed.
You can either choose a specific one to be displayed, or choose Previous Page to
return to what was displayed before the current page was called.
• The Show As property is used to define how the page should be displayed. Aside
from displaying it as a normal page, it can be shown as a popup page or as a
popup menu. Both types of popup are shown on top of the existing page, and
while they are displayed, the HMI keys and touch-screen will assume the
functions for the new page. Popup menus are displayed aligned to the left of the
display so as to match up with the soft keys, while popup pages are displayed in
the position indicated by the page properties. Note that a primitive or key on the
new page must be assigned the HidePopup() action to remove the popup.
Note: Popups are submitted to maximum size due to graphical memory limitation. They are
created by wrapping around all the objects on the page called as a popup. If the external
square around all the objects does not follow the rules below, the popup will be truncated
Popup Window:
• QVGA Display: 305 x 224 pixels max.
• VGA Displays: The popup cannot be larger than 296 pixels and higher than 224
pixels at the same time. One of the dimensions has to stay below the respective
value. This means the maximum dimensions horizontally are 624 x 224 and
vertically 296 x 464.
Popup Menu:
• QVGA Display: No limits
• VGA Display: 296 pixels wide max.
