The text object is able to display up to 16 lines of text. By means of the Properties tab of the object up to four
lines can be edited and displayed. If more than four lines shall be displayed, the XML open protocol can be used,
please refer to section

On the Properties tab text fields you can insert text. If the checkbox of a text field is selected, the text is dis-
played in the object with the alignment, font type and size, foreground and background color as specified in the
lists on the lower part of the tab.
Properties tab – UMD
The UMD object serves to display in an object for its own up to 16 UMD lines. From the Lines list the required
number of lines can be selected. According to this choice, on the left side the corresponding account of num-
bered items gets activated and their digit is displayed black instead of gray. To edit the properties of one UMD
line first click on the respective item on the left. Its digit then turns to red instead of black. First select by means
of the option buttons Text and Variable, if you want to enter the text for this UMD line manually into the text
box behind Text or if you want to select a UMD variable of the XML open protocol from the variable list. Please
refer also to section

The alignment of the writing can be assigned with the Alignment list, while font type and size can be assigned
with the Font lists. The Foreground and Background lists determine the color of the writing and background.
For UMD lines of type Variable the foreground and background can as well be set by means of the H
YDRA open
protocol. In this case, the checkboxes before the lists must be cleared. The color of the separator between the
single UMD lines is set with the Separator list, its height is set with the Height bar.
