How can see the image on the hardware?

Hello J_Khan;

To add to Duris_I's advice, you could look at this FAQ prepared a few years ago:

How do you incorporate self-created graphics for you GSD file in STEP 7 V5.5?

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier

I have followed the procedure step by step, but I still cannot see the image on the hardware, instead of the image I get "??????"

What would be the problem? :(

Hello zofim,

I have already answered your problem (which you already post it in many areas of the forum). I see it is the same gse file, Diris A40. I have checked the gse file syntax and it is fine.

Ok, here it is again: your picture size is wrong. It is 40x40 but it should be 70x40. Edit the photo to match the required size (simply open with Paint, resize by pixels, don't keep aspect ratio), re-install gse, restart Simatic and you should see it.

Best regards, Mihai.

 Hello Mihai,

I have done the following test:

Any ideas guys?

After that it worked. My bad...

Thanks for your attention anyway
