NOTE!
If you import an image with a higher resolution, the process screen editor scales the image to the max-
imum admissible size. The aspect of the original image is kept. Similarly the color depth of the image is
reduced to 16-bit if the image file you are importing uses more colors.

9.12.3 Object types
The following object types are available when editing object features:
Type Description
Pictogram The status of a digital signal is graphically depicted using two pictograms (icons or
images).
Analog signal The value of an analog signal is displayed in numerical form (e.g. 123.45).
Digital signal The status of a digital signal is displayed within a frame via a text (e.g. Low, High).
Text Text that is displayed in the process screen.
This is a fixed text that is entered when editing the object.
Frame Frame for grouping or highlighting objects
The area within the frame is transparent and is automatically placed in the back-
ground. An object (e.g., text or image) located within this frame is made visible as a
result.
Rectangle Rectangle for grouping or highlighting objects
Unlike the frame, the rectangle is not transparent (separate color can be set). As a
result, objects can be arranged against a background with a color that differs from
that of the general background color.
Bar graph The value of an analog signal is displayed as a bar graph (vertical or horizontal).
