Creating your own graphic information pages
You will need:

·The BMP to MIF converter tool can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.mglavionics.co.za or can be found on
the XTreme-EMS distribution SD card).
The BMP to MIF program is used to convert images in Windows BMP format to MIF format. You can use this program to
make your own startup screen (Splash screen) and graphic information pages. The color depth is limited to 256 colors.
Run the BMP image to MIF format converter program.
Load an image file (and remember the location), select the resolution as width (480) and height (272) and press the
process button. The new MIF image will be located in the same directory as the source (.BMP) file. Copy the created file
(.MIF extension) to the Infopage directory on the SD card.
The graphic information file can then be loaded by pressing the rotary
control and selecting “INFO PAGES”. A window containing all the files
with the .MIF extension is shown. Select the desired information page.
The number of information pages that can be stored and displayed
depends on the size of the SD card.
