Cursor of PCD7.D23x is shown as "ü"

FAQ #100015

 

Symptom
The cursor of the PCD7.D23x is displayed as "ü". Probably also other special characters are not shown correctly. (And PG5 1.2 is used.)

Reason
This phenomenon is related to the character set chosen in the "settings" tab of the HMI Editor. Since the PCD7.D23x terminals do support all character sets by default, there is no need any more to set the character set to a specific language. If this still is done the result will be that some special characters aren't displeyed correctly.

Solution
To correct the problem, just set the character set in the HMI Editor "Settings" tab to "Default".

Remark
This FAQ is no longer relevant if PG5 1.3 or later is used.
