2.1 Configuration/introduction
Editor
An ASCII editor (e.g., Notepad or the HMI editor) is used to create configuration
files.
Files
The defining data for new user interfaces are stored in configuration files. These
files are automatically interpreted and the result displayed on the screen.
Configuration files are not stored in the software supplied and must be set up by
the user.
2.1.1 Principle of the screen form tree
Several interlinked screen forms create a screen form tree. A link exists if you can
switch from one screen form into another. You can use the newly defined
horizontal/vertical softkeys in your form to call the preceding or any other screen
form.
Access
softkey
A screen form tree can be created behind each start softkey.
