UI designer normally put the static text onto the background picture to provide fine visual result. Smart LCD also provide various text font option with character elements.

To show ASCII text on screen with Static String (STS), it is quite straight forward. While it is also possible to show Extended Code on Static String.

how to

1. Generate font library in Font Config <2>, select "Extended [0x80-0xFF] codepage" to include into the font library.

2. Select a corresponding extended codepage in Project Setting

3. Built a project with a Static String (STS) element

4. Put the desire extended char as hex in the element properties (CP250 CHAR(128(d)) = Euro sign, enter #80)

note

  • Some of the font face may not provide all the extended char
  • code page setting can also be assigned via serial command, Set_codepage (0xE7 command)
