Can anyone explain to me how to change the alarm banner icons for DeltaV 10.3? The customer i'm working with wants to use custom icons.
Thanks,
James
First, you should create a custom alarm banner by saving the standard banner as a new file.
Then in usersettings.grf, point to the custom alarm banner. In Usersettings.grf look for the ALARM BANNER WINDOW INITIALIZATION section and edit as per the instructions.
You can do whatever you like to your new custom alarm banner.
To actually replace the bitmaps, right click the bitmap object and select 'Load Image' --> 'Primary' or 'Secondary' for the various push button states and select the image you want for each.

Hi,
you can also modify the *(machine name).layout files under DV\grapihcs-ifix\local folder.
(there are the file names inside the usersettingsfile.. ps. have you upgraded the project recently... are you using the NEW settingsfile not the old file, there are some differences depending on version)
chose the right type of layout file depending on your screens. e.g. 1680*1050.
There are instructions in the file how to use it...
Open with e.g. Notepad ( be sure to save as *.layout file)
;Initial Pictures;; Sets the quantity and the name of the graphics that open when DeltaV Operate; starts. The Count is the total number of graphics within the layout. Each; graphic must be specified as Picture1 through PictureN by entering the name ; and relative location of each graphic. The base folder is the ; \\DVDATA\Graphics-ifix\Pic folder.
