Ø Floating-point settings:
Ø [Standard]: High byte floating point ahead while the low one behind;
Ø [Appoint]: users determine the order.
Ø Invalid touch: Select the "Use custom labeling", which means touchable controls cannot be touched, then the picture marking the control chosen by user is untouchable.
Ø Operation Mode: Choose one mode between traditional touch operation and USB mouse operation.
Ø Display controls pressing effect: SKTOOL is newly added pressing effect display. When the pressing effect is applied, rectangular pressing trace will appear if users touch the control. The pressing trace color depends on user’s preference. Currently Bit switch, Word switch, Screen button, Function button, Numeric input and ASCII input controls support this effect. The default is No effect.
Note: Pressing effect of elliptical controls is still a rectangle.
2、Set user password:
Figure 7-4 Set User Password
l This function supports 8 sets of user password, each of which has eight levels of password for users to choose.
l The default user level: The current default user class is NULL.
l Allow uploading configuration: If select this option, you can upload the project from HMI to PC; otherwise it cannot be uploaded.
l Enter the password when uploading: Whether uploading projects requires a password.

3、Settings of connection to the printer and downloading
Click "Settings of connection between HMI and printer" button, as shown in Figure 7-5:
Figure 7-5 parameter settings of connection between the printer and the HMI
This page contains parameter settings of connection between the printer and the HMI; users can select corresponding parameters according to printer models.
Download settings:
Download mode: Users need to select USB or Ethernet connection to download. If choose the Ethernet, it’s necessary to set the IP address and port number (IP address and port number are those of the HMI).
Clear historical alarm records: Whether to clear the history alarm information before downloading.
Clear historical data records: Whether to clear the history data information before downloading.
Download Formula: Whether to download formulas in the current project to the HMI.
Image Downloading Options:
Keep the original format: Selecting this option means retain the image format unchanged when downloading.
Convert to JPG format: Convert all images to JPG format before downloading them into HMI.
(Note: Due to the larger space occupied by BMP format images, it’s suggested to select this option.)
The super configuration function is to super-compress the written configuration file, which can greatly reduce the space occupied by the configuration file and achieve the function of saving the built-in storage space of the HMI. When compiling the configuration and it prompts that the current configuration exceeds the size limit, you can check this function to complete the configuration download. When writing the normal configuration, you can also check the super configuration function to save download time and the built-in space of HMI.
The configuration size limits for the SK series HMI are as follows: The configuration size limit for the SK series HMI is < 20MB, among which the configuration limit for the 15.6-inch series screen is < 80MB. It should be noted that the entire QC series screen configuration is less than 10MB, and the "Super Configuration" function cannot be used.
4. Storage location and alarm system, as shown below
Figure 7-6 Storage location and Alarm system
l Storage location: Location for historical data, historical alarm and screen shots. Provide "Local (FLASH)", "U disk" three options for users to choose according to their need. The default is Local (FLASH).

The PA type is a word address. After being established here, it can be directly called in the usage address page of the relevant control. The stored data remains valid after power failure. The usage address page is shown in the following figure:
