Image File Requirements

In order for images to be displayed on the MET-ECOM-D, the following image file requirements apply:

BMP image type

1-bit (monochrome)

128 x 64 pixels

Creating Display Images

Use any graphics application that is capable of saving image files under various formats and allows you to re-size the image and reduce the number of colors available (for example, MicroSoft Paint).

MicroSoft "Paint" (formerly Paintbrush for Windows, also known as "MS Paint") is a simple graphics painting program that has been included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows since its first release. Paint has the basic functions required to transform most image files to monochrome bitmap images. However, use a more robust graphics editing program if possible, to make it easier to achieve a better final result

Images to be displayed on the MET-ECOM-D must be monochrome bitmap image files, with a final image size of 128 pixels wide by 64 pixels high.

The following steps illustrate an example of using a typical image editing program to create a fully- compatible monochrome bitmap image for use with the MET-ECOM-D, using a standard JPG image file as a starting point:

1.Open the image file that you want to use with the MET-ECOM-D (FIG. 36).
