4.4.4.3 Defining individual color tables (as from SW 5.4)
Introduction As from SW 5.4, the user can define his own color tables (for example, for different
displays).
The names for the color tables (object type clut) of the applications are selectable;
however, some rules must be observed.
As a convention, the names of the individual color tables are formed by combining the
acronyms PO or NE (for positive/negative representation) and CO or MO (for color/
monochrome representation) followed by the designation CLUT; this convention is ex-
tended by the selection of acronyms for color/monochrome representation. It is now
possible to use not only the acronyms CO or MO, but also C0 to C9 (M0 to M9) and
CA to CZ (MA to MZ). It is allowed to add name extensions to the acronyms C and M
in the form of numbers 0 to 9 or letters A to Z (no special characters).
It is therefore possible to form color tables with the following names:
SPOC[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
SPOC[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
SPOM[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
SNEM[0–9, A–Z]CLUT
The acronyms are stored as follows in the configuration file of the operator system:
a 1 5 1 MZ //BCOLORMONO_DEF
a 1 5 2 NE // BPOSNEG_DEF
Example 1 for entries in the configuration file:
a 1 5 1 MZ //BCOLORMONO_DEF
a 1 5 2 NE // BPOSNEG_DEF
The color table with the name POC1CLUT is loaded for the corresponding application
if it is available there, otherwise the color table POCOCLUT is taken as standard set-
ting.
Example 2 for entries in the configuration file:
a 1 5 1 MZ //BCOLORMONO_DEF
a 1 5 2 NE // BPOSNEG_DEF
The color table with the name NEMZCLUT is loaded for the corresponding application
if it is available there, otherwise the color table NEMOCLUT is taken as standard set-
ting.
Note
SWhen using the CLUT names, it must be observed that the corresponding file (e.g.
POC1CLUT) must be available both in the file tree under the catalog Operation/Ba-
sic settings and in the catalog Operation/Function area, with the term Function area
standing for the corresponding application, e.g. diagnosis or simulation.
SWhen selecting the acronyms, it must be observed that the numbers 0 to 9 and the
letter O are reserved for the system (Siemens).
SWhen naming the color tables, you must also take into account the names for the
icons. If necessary, the files moikone1 to moikone5 and modanger must be
changed to mzikone1 to mzikone5 and mzdanger.
