Configuring the system data

After selecting the "System data list" line in the List of contents, projects , the "System data list" dialog box is opened. The dialog box consists of a "Property sheet" with 5 tabs. The appropriate tab is brought to the foreground by positioning the mouse cursor on the tab and pressing the lefthand mouse key.

The contents of all tabs in the system data list are transferred by "Pressing" the "OK" button. You can exit the dialog box without accepting the changed contents using the "Cancel" button.

General settings

You can set the general properties of the board here. You’ll find more detailed information in the Planning Guide for WF470, Section 2.3, Help texts for the system data mask.

Color settings

Contrary to the CP/M / MSDOS configuring software, when configuring the system data list, the color table is directly displayed on the PG/PC screen instead of on the board monitor. Your PC should be set to 65535 colors or more in order to optimally display the colors.

Proceed as follows to set a color:

1. Select the color required by clicking on one of the buttons, Color 1...Color 8
2. In the input fields "Red", "Green" and "Blue" set the color composition in 10% steps
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all of the colors have been set as required.

Using the "Pre-set color " and "Pre-set B/W" buttons, you can reset all of the colors to the appropriate standard setting.

More detailed information on selecting colors is provided in the Planning Guide for WF470, Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.

Printer interface

The printer interface settings are self-explanatory. You’ll find more detailed information on the setting values in the Planning Guide for WF470, Section 2.3.3.

Printer control characters

Set the printer control characters here which are required by the WF470 to output reports.
Using the "Pre-settings" combo box, you can preset the values to the printer listed there.

The pre-setting values are in the file "WF470WIN.INI" in Section "[Printer<x>]". You can enter additional pre-setting sets in this, using a text editor analog to the printers which have already been set-up.

The WF470WIN.INI file is in the same directory as WF470WIN.EXE.

Notes:

• The pre-settings, offered as standard, are set-up when installing WF470WIN. Changes can only be undone by re-installing. Therefore, do not overwrite these settings, but only add them as new ones.
• Back-up your WF470WIN.INI before re-installing your WF470WIN, if you have entered special values. After the re-installation, copy back the appropriate lines.
• Please note, that after changes have been made to the "characters/line" and "lines/page" value, under certain circumstances, the configured line- or column numbers in the report become invalid. Thus, only change these values if absolutely necessary.

Others

The "Others" tab includes the hardcopy- and cursor settings. You’ll find more detailed information on the setting values in the Document "WF470 Display Module", Technical Description, Section 4.12.
