This section describes how to define the general settings for a panel application. The following is an example of the General page of the General Setup dialog box.

The following table describes each item in the General page.

Item		Description
Application Name		The name of the panel application.
Model		The model of the target panel. Click to bring up the Panel Model dialog box which helps you to select a model by specifying the size, resolution and orientation of the display. The following is a sample of Panel Model dialog box. The supported display resolutions for the HMI Runtime are 800x600; 1024x600; 1024x758; 1280x720; 1280x800; 1280x1024; 1366x768; 1440x900; 1600x900; 1600x1200; 1680x1050; 1920x1080; 1920x1200; 2560x1440; 2560x1600.
Splash Screen	<Check Box>	Check this option if you want a picture that appears while the application is loading. It can be an additional form of advertising.
	Picture	The name of the current picture. You can use the drop-down list to select a picture from the picture database. Click to select a picture from a file as the current picture. After the selection, the software imports the picture of the selected file and saves the picture in the picture database. Click to bring up the Select/Import from Library dialog box. Select a picture from a picture library file as the current picture. After the selection, the software imports the selected picture from the selected library and saves the picture in the picture database.
	Time Duration	Specify how long you want to display the picture.
	Fit To Screen	Check this item so the picture can change its size automatically to fit the screen.
Start Up	Screen	Specifies the first screen of the application that the target panel will display after powering up.
	Delay Time	Specifies the time that the target panel will delay to run the application.
	Display Countdown	Check this option if you want the target panel to display countdown while it is waiting for the expiry of the Delay Time.
	Language	Specifies the language the application will display the text in after power up.
	Login Required	Check this option if you want the target panel to get a valid password from the operator before it displays the first screen.
	Default User Level	Available when Login Required is not selected. Specifies the initial user level for the application.
Idle Processing	Display Idle Screen	Check this option to display the Idle Screen when the target panel has idled for the specified amount of time.
	Idle Screen	Specifies the screen that will be displayed as the idle screen.
	Change User Level	Check this option to change the current user level when the idle screen is displayed.
	Idle User Level	Available when the Change User Level is selected. Specifies the user once the idle screen is displayed.
	Idle Time	The length of time used to determine when the idle screen is displayed.
	Screen Saver Time	Specifies the screen saver time. The target panel will turn off its backlight when it has not been operated by the operator for the specified amount of time.
Note		You can type a note for the panel application.
Macro	Startup Macro	Check this item if you want the application to have the Startup macro. The Startup macro is only run once when the application starts. The target panel will not display the start-up screen until the macro terminates. You can use Startup macro to initialize global data and settings for your application.
	Main Macro	Check this item if you want the application to have the Main macro. The Main macro runs concurrently with the application. The target panel runs the Main macro cyclically, i.e. it will delay preset time to run Main macro starting from the first command each time after processing the last command of the macro, or when it encounters an END command in the middle of the macro.
	Event Macro #1~#4	An Event macro is run whenever the associated trigger bit changes from 0 (Off) to 1 (On). An application can have up to four Event macros. If the application needs an Event macro for a certain event, check one of the items that are available and specify the associated trigger bit for the corresponding Event macro. You can also select the trigger bit offered by the system, such as: MemStkInserted, MemStkRemoved, BatteryLow and BarCodeInputViaUsb.
	Time Macro #1~#4	A Time macro is run periodically with a preset time interval. An application can have up to four Time macros. Each Time macro has a different set of time intervals that can be chosen to specify how often it runs. The following table describes the available time intervals for each Time macro.
		Time Macro	Available Time Intervals		Remark
		#1	0.5 and 1 second
		#2	0.5, 1, 2, 3, ... and 59 seconds
		#3	1/120, 1/60, 1, 2, 3, ... and 59 minutes		The macro is run at 0 second.
		#4	1/7200, 1/3600, 1, 2, 3, ... and 24 hours		The macro is run on the clock.
		If the application needs a Time macro, check the item of an appropriate Time macro and specify the time interval for that Time macro.
Print
	Printer	Specifies the type of printer that the application will use. An 800x480 screen can be printed in less than 15 seconds.
		Supported Printer		Tested Printer Model	Remark
		BIXOLON SRP-350 (USB)			Thermal receipt printer
		EPSON C79 (USB)
		EPSON C86 (USB)
		EPSON LQ-1600K (USB)		DPK300 Fuji printer
		EPSON LQ-300 (USB)
		HP LaserJet (Ethernet / USB)		HP 1606dn, Brother HL-2030, Brother HL-2070N, and Brother MFC-7840W.	Supports most of the HP and Brother printers that support PCL and PCL 5e
		Siupo SP Series (COM / PRT)
		SPRT A Series (COM / PRT)
	Port	Specifies the port of the target panel that will connect to the printer.
		If the printer is a mono printer, you can click it to bring up the “Settings for Printing” dialog box which helps you to select the colors to be printed in black. The following is a sample of Settings for Printing dialog box.
Hardware	Battery Backed RAM	Specifies the size of the battery backed RAM installed in the target panel. Note that the battery backed RAM is shared by the alarm logger, the operation logger, the data loggers, the recipe blocks, the system memory, and the nonvolatile user memory.
	Flash ROM	Specifies the size of the flash ROM installed in the target panel.
	Use External Keypad	Select this option if you want to use a customized keypad or a PC's USB Keyboard as the external keypad for your HMI unit. Available only when the HMI unit supports the external keypad connection. When the external keypad is used, the touch operation is still supported. You can operate the HMI unit with the touch screen and the external keypad at the same time. If the PC USB Keyboard is selected, you can use Up, Down, Left, Right, and Tab keys to move the cursor to the desired object. To activate a button, move the cursor to the button and press Enter key. To enter numbers and characters, move the cursor to the associated object and use the keyboard to enter the data directly. The Up key and Down key of the external keypad could move the cursor not only up and down but also left and right. When the Up key cannot move the cursor up further, it will try to move the cursor to the left. Also when the Down key cannot move the cursor down further, it will try to move the cursor to the right.
Miscellaneous	Buzzer Sounding Time	Specifies the length of the beep sounded by the buzzer when a touch operation is activated.
	Overlapped buttons can be activated in sequence by one touch	Check this option if you want the application to have the overlapped buttons can be activated in sequence by one touch feature. This allows the operator to issue multiple data settings or commands with one touch. There are some constraints with using this feature. See Section 3.1.3 for details.
	Display Orientation Switchable	Check this option to switch the screen orientation at runtime. The run time orientation of a screen can be predefined in landscape or portrait. At run time, the display orientation of the window screens and the menu screens is determined by the orientation of the current normal screen. Note that not all the HMI units support this feature. Select the model in the properties page to see whether the feature is available or not.
	Support Text Anti-aliasing	Check this option to make X series HMI units support text anti-aliasing.
		Text without anti-aliasing		Text with anti-aliasing

	Check if the panel was stopped safely for the last shutdown	Check this option to configure the HMI unit to check if the operator performed the safe stop successfully for the last power-off with a function button for "Stop Operation Safely ". Please see 3.1.5 Avoiding Data Corruption Due To Random Power-off for details. Note that the check occurs when the HMI starts running the application every time.
