Object types
The Graphical Display Editor window contains some panes that include drawing
symbols or elements to create a single line diagram, measurements and texts on a
page. Click on the name bar of the selected element to open the pane.
The object types shows the symbols either in ANSI standard or in IEC standard.
The standard is selected by the drop down list box located on top of the display
window.
When changing to the other symbol standard, GDE closes the object type window,
changes the symbols according to the selected new standard and redraws the single
line diagram in the display window.
Select the different panes and their symbols to become familiar with the available
symbols.
Measurements (Measurands) are presented in one format that explains itself when
selected. Select the format and drop it in the drawing area. Use the object
properties to make adaptations.
Special symbols for dynamic text
In the text pane the object types contains a set of special symbols to present text
that depends on the status of variables. A set of three symbols is either valid for a
double bit information or for a list of up to 32 different inputs. The corresponding
function blocks in ACT are of type xxxGAPC.
