HiCON Motion Controller / 7866 Dimensions

« on: September 29, 2020, 11:11:43 AM »

What are the dimensions of the 7866?  I couldn’t find the specs on the Vital Systems website.

I am looking at replacing a Galil DMC-4133 with the Hicon Integra 7866 but am unsure of its mounting requirements.  Is there hardware and mounting diagram available that I overlooked?

Mach4 General Discussion / Screen Set Property Descriptions

« on: February 09, 2019, 07:01:40 PM »

I have found that when editing a screen set the easiest way to make sweeping stylistic changes is to edit the screen.xml file from within the screen.set file.  However, I am not certain what some of the available properties are.  Would someone please provide some clarity on these properties? 

I would also be okay with someone pointing me to a reference where all of this is documented?

Code: [Select]

           <mcLed>
              <Property name="Name">ledLimit--C</Property>
              <Property name="Instance">0</Property>
              <Property name="Shape">0</Property>
What is the instance property?  The only option in the screen editor dropdown is 0.

Code: [Select]

            <mcStaticText>
              <Property name="Name">lblLimit--C</Property>
              <Property name="Font">0;-9;0;0;0;400;0;0;0;1;0;0;2;32;Consolas</Property>
              <Property name="Bg Color"></Property>
              <Property name="Label Code">-1</Property>
              <Property name="SysVar">0</Property>
              <Property name="SysParam">0</Property>
            </mcStaticText>

What are the various font property values?

Is there a way to set the Bg Color to transparent?  If no value is given it will adopt the Bg Color of the tab element. 

Is it possible to create new label codes?  If so, where should those be pasted?

What are the SysVar and SysParam properties?

Lastly, is there a way to prevent DRO elements from resizing the font when I try to resize the element?

Thanks!
