2.1 What is the Project File?
A file created in GP-Pro EX is called a
"Project File".
The project file merges information from
created screens, display unit and model, device/PLC drivers, fonts
and other settings.
Once you transfer a project file to a display unit, it displays the
screen interface and communicates with the device/PLC so you can
run operations.
Screens of Type
A project file is mainly composed of two
screens: a Base Screen and Window Screen.
The Base Screen is the screen that displays
after a screen change. to display a screen on the display unit,
always use a Base Screen.
A Window Screen is a screen that displays on
top of a Base Screen. You would use this screen for keypad inputs
and other functions that display the screen temporarily on top of
the Base Screen.
 12.3 Displaying
Windows
The screen size is fixed. The screen size is
based on the selected display unit.
You can change the screen size within the
display unit's screen size.
