General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Font select font face Font Size for TTF only Font Color is the font face color Background Color only available when Transparent is false Transparent whether the Static String has background color.
Format Align options are Left / Right / Center Char Spacing options are Default / Shrink / AUTO(for font config 2 with DBCS)
Content Static Text is the text content to be display
Properties Control (advance feature) Enable VP is none by default (element operate normally) Select a VP for real time element control. VP value will set to 1 as enable at power-on. It can be disabled (hidden) by a zero value Font VP is none by default (using the above selected font) Select a VP for real time font ID change VP value will copy the above ID at power-on. Foreground color VP is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time foreground color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on. Backgound color VP is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time background color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on. Transparent VP is none by default (using the above option) Select a VP for real time transparent background control VP value will copy the above transparent config at power-on. It can be enable by a non-zero value or disable by a zero

Number Element (NUM)

General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Font select font face Font Size for TTF only Font Color is the font face color Background Color only available with Transparent disable Transparent true for disable the Background Color box to be show Mask could be any char to "represent" as the char (Keep empty for normal operation)
Format Align options are Left / Right / Center Char Spacing options are Default / Shrink / AUTO(for font config 2 with DBCS) Integer Digits is the no. of digit on left side of the dot (default Auto) (*1)(*2) Decimal Digits is the no of digit on right side of the dot (*1)(*2) Display Format option: Decimal / Hexadecimal
Content VP Resource is the type of VP hold the content (VP_N16 by default) VP Address is the VP that hold the value
Advance Compile As can force VP variable work different than default (Auto); VP_N16 (two successive VP_N16) work as VP_N32; VP_N32 (first two byte of VP_N32) work as VP_N16; VP_N64 (first two byte of VP_N64) work as VP_N16; VP_N64 (first four byte of VP_N64) work as VP_N32 Data Type options are Signed(default) / Unsigned / Float(for VP_N32) For the decoding of the RAM content, it could also present unsigned value or floating value, too. (please make sure the value in the VP variable appropriate for the type)
Properties Control (advance feature) Enable VP is none by default (element operate normally) Select a VP for real time element control. VP value will set to 1 as enable at power-on. It can be disabled (hidden) by a zero value Font VP is none by default (using the above selected font) Select a VP for real time font ID change VP value will copy the above ID at power-on Foreground color VP is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time foreground color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on Backgound color VP is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time background color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on Transparent VP is none by default (using the above option) Select a VP for real time transparent background control VP value will copy the above transparent config at power-on It can be enable by a non-zero value or disable by a zero Decimal Digits VP is none by default (using the above option) Select a VP for real time Decimal Digits control VP value will copy the above transparent config at power-on

note
*1. Integer Digits / Decimal Digits Formatting Examples
| VP's value (10's) | Integer Digits | Decimal Digits | Display Result | Descriptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Auto | 3 | 0.015 |
Decimal Digits = 3, zero prefix is added. Integer Digits = Auto, a minimal 0 is shown |
| 23762 | Auto | 3 | 23.762 |
Decimal Digits = 3, least 3 digit as decimal value Integer Digits = Auto, unlimited Integer digit |
| 5629 | 5 | 1 | 00562.9 |
Decimal Digits = 1, least 1 digit as decimal value Integer Digits = 5, zero prefix is added |
| -87913 | 3 | 2 | -879.13 |
Decimal Digits = 2, two decimals Integer Digits = 3, show all the rest as integer Negative signed value use ”-“ as prefix |
| -13277 | 2 | 2 | -99.99 |
The VP's value over the maximum value that could be display, the max value (within the display format) shown with sign. |
| 1758 | 3 | 0 | 999 |
The VP's value over the maximum value that could be display, the max value (within the display format) shown. |
*2. Float type value might rounded or truncated due to hex-dec conversion
*3. Float type value is suggested to select: Integer Digits=Auto, Decimal Digits=1~9, to prevent over maximum value presentation error
