large chacters on HMI possible?
« on: May 18, 2007, 09:10:06 AM »
I have the MD420 HMI. In my application larger characters would be easier for operator to read. Is there a command which changes the font size for the LCD controller to double size? I would like 2 rows of larger characters.
Thanks

Unfortunately the character size for these kind of LCD are not changeable. You may however use third party serial based graphical LCD display such as those from Matrix Orbital to display different font size characters.
