Step 3: select to import a folder

After selecting the folder where the configuration file is located and clicking OK, the software will import

the controls variables automatically. A user only needs to make modifications accordingly.

Note: ① The import function requires that the sizes of existing project images are same to those of the original

configuration files.

② After the import, some may indicate a change in the size or position of variable controls. This is due to

the fact that there are no relevant parameters for the imported file, which will not affect the actual effect.

③ The import function does not import the initial values for variables, which shall be set by users.



4 Effect Preview

As shown in Figure 4-1, the Effect Preview function simulates the Intelligent TFT LCD Module terminal via

the PC software. It uses a PC serial to simulate that of the display terminal. By doing so, a user need not download

an interface to the display terminal to preview its actual effect and determine whether the display position or font

size is proper or not during development, thus saving the development time for the user.

The configuration files used for the Effect Preview function are same to those for the Intelligent TFT LCD

Module. It shall generate Stone's Intelligent TFT LCD Module configuration files (F7) before previewing, the

software will automatically import the files in Project\VT_SET to realize an effect same to that of the screen.

Figure 4-1 Effect Preview

Due to the differences between the Intelligent TFT LCD Module terminal and the PC in terms of HW, the

preview function can only be taken as the effect reference during project development. Table 3-1 provides the

Remark【4】

When Encode_mode.6=1, the first two words in the content of each cell data define the tabular data format, with the instructions as

follows:

High byte of the first word: Mode selection data type;

0x00=integer (2 bytes), -32768 to 32767

0x01=long integer (4 bytes)-2147483648 to 2147483647

0x02=*VP high byte, unsigned number ranging from 0 to 255

0x03=*VP low byte , unsigned number ranging from 0 to 255

0x04= ultra-long integer (8 bytes) - 9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807

0x05= unsigned integer (2 bytes) 0 to 65535

0x06= long unsigned integer ( 4 bytes) 0 to 4294967295

0x10= Time Format 1, 12:34:56BCD code-element string

0x11= Time Format 2, 12 -34 -56BCD code-element string

0x12= Time Format 3, YYYY-MM-DD HH: MM: SS BCD code-element string

0xFF=text form

Low byte of the first word:

Mode=0x00-0x06 defines the fixed point display format of variable data, high 4bit refers to the number of integer places, low 4bit

refers to the number of decimal places.

Mode=0x10-0X11 Time byte length of BCD code-element string

Mode=no other definitions



displayed text, fonts sized 0 is

used for displaying the ASC

Code as default

Direct Variable Display: the

content of a table can be

displayed in texts or variables.

Refer to Remark 【 4 】 to

determine the format of

variables to be displayed when

displaying variables.

Number of Columns/Number

of Lines: display to number of

columns and lines of a table

Unit_Data_Num: the data

length of each cell is displayed

in a list (unit: word)

0x01-0xFF: the data lengths

saved by all cells are the same.

When the value is set as 0, it

means that the position to save

the data in tables will be

extended (Column No./2)

upward to take the whole word

address.

For example, the variable

address is 0x1000,

TAB_X_Num=0x07, then:

0x1000-0x1003 saves the

lengths of data in tables of

Columns 0-6 successively, with

the low byte of 1003 not used.

0x1004 address starts to save

the contents of a table

FONT0 ID: the fonts position

of the ASC Code. Fonts sized

0 includes all the ASCII

characters for 4*8-64*128 dot

matrix.

FONT1 ID: as fonts for text

display in a table, the coding

mode of the fonts must be the

same to that of text display

Number of Dot Matrixes in X

Direction/Number of Dot

Matrixes in Y Direction: the dot

matrix size of fonts sized 58



Second word: defines the text color of cell.

If the length of the actual content in the table is shorter than the specified one for Unit_Data_Num, it shall use 0xFFFF as the

end-of-text character for cell.

For an out-sized table, it can modify the TAB_X_Start and TAB_Y_Start values via a touch screen, which can easily locate and drag

the table.

6.4.4 Graphic Display of 2D QR Code (0x25)

Unit_Pixels: the size of a

physical pixel dot matrix

occupied by each 2D code

cell pixel. Set

Unit_Pixels=4, each cell

pixel will be in a 4*4 dot

matrix size.
