• HotSpot Controls for the Key Matrix<br />

• Calculating the Key Matrix<br />

These solutions should only be used for existing projects and not for creating new projects in V2.1. In future<br />

versions, button and HotSpot functionality will be expanded even more. Projects will be more concise and<br />

require less executable code.<br />

4.14.1.5 VCInfo Data Structure<br />

The 'VCInfo[0]' data structure was deleted and not replaced.<br />

• Controlling Colors now takes place directly by the editor or by variables on the target system.<br />

• The API Interface provides functions for adjusting settings for brightness and contrast, etc.<br />

• The Touch Calibration function is also available using the API interface.<br />

This change corresponds to the Automation Studio concept.<br />

4.14.1.6 Character Set Representation<br />

Bitmap font technology and their editing possibilities are being replaced by the new True Type font standard.<br />

The new version allows the integration of True Type fonts. Symbol fonts are also supported. The possibility to<br />

use UNICODE character sets (IPC target systems) is planned for the next version.<br />

Existing projects with modified bitmap fonts are correctly transferred. Display errors may occur when there are<br />

more than 127 characters in a particular set. The CharBox can be used for these instances.<br />

These representation problems can occur particularly on CAN systems. Standardized character sets were not<br />

used on them in the past. They are now not always displayed correctly in the editor partly because of reserved<br />

character ranges in Windows.<br />

Workaround: CharBox.<br />

4.14.1.7 Customer−Specific Panels<br />

When using customer−specific panels, don't forget to reinstall the hardware description files after installing<br />

version 2.1 (in case the directory is deleted or another directory is used).<br />

Only B&R standard panels are included in Automation Studio 2.1 delivery.<br />

4.14.2 Upgrading <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> 2.0 Projects<br />

4.14.2.1 HotSpot Controls for the Key Matrix<br />

Introduction to <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong> 2.3<br />

HotSpots can be defined next to one another in the global picture with a size of 40x40 pixels. These HotSpots<br />

can then be assigned to a fixed grid position in the key matrix. In this way, 192 rectangles can be drawn in the<br />

global picture when a VGA display is used. Also in this way, the familiar key matrix from V2.0 can be<br />

implemented.<br />
