PdL Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 There seems to be a persistent problem with bitmap colors in System version 8.10. I have some bitmap icons in my projects. The colors were always displayed correctly both in CXD as in the target hardware. However, after updating 3 NS5-V2 terminals to system version 8.10, I noticed my bitmap icon colors are incorrectly displayed in the target hardware. In CX-Designer the colors are displayed correctly. Before update to 8.10: After update to 8.10: Unfortunately I don't have a camera here right now so had to use my phone but I think you can see what I mean. After I re-imported an existing bitmap icon in CXD, (CXD automatically converts 24bit to 16bit color), the colors were now displayed correctly. However, importing all bitmap icons by copying the originals to the CXD project folder in explorer does not work and all bitmaps colors are wrong again. So it seems the only solution now is to re-import every bitmap individually....
PdL Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 Well my colleague ran into this as well with a different laptop and NS terminal so we investigated a little more. It seems that: 1. It is necessary to re-import the original bitmap graphic after converting a project to system version 8. 2. All necessary modifications to the bitmap using paint should be done prior to importing the bitmap. If the bitmap is edited in paint (e.g. resize) using the edit button in the object properties and then saved (overwrite), the colors are set wrong again!
PdL Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 The problem has been recognised by Omron and will be fixed in one of the next CX-Designer udates.
BITS N BYTES Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Questions on Version of CX Designer. 1. Has the BMP color issue been resolved with the latest CX Designer upadate? I currently have V7.0 installed on my NS screen and would like to upgrade to 8.*. CX Designer version is latest update V3.10. 2. It is not clear to me [or I cannot find the relevant section in the manual] exactly how the Version update level and the Version in CX-Designer work together. For example CX Designer project is set for V7.0 and the installed version on the NS screen is V7.0. Does this mean that all Version prior to V7.0 will run correctly? OR must the CX Designer project Version EXACTLY match the Update/Recover Version installed on the NS screen? 3. Was trying to use a CF card to simultaneously update the Version AND download a new *.IPP application. Could not get this to work and had to install Version and Application separately. Tried placing the *.IPP application in one of the BANK folders of the Version update, but still did not work. Can anyone describe or point me to the correct method for loading a version update AND *.IPP application at the same time using a CF card. CONFUSED !!
PdL Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 I can confirm System Version 8.21 has fixed this issue... no more strange BMP colors!!
