The Weintek Macro language has a some useful functions for stripping 32bit and 16bit numbers into words, and bytes. In this macro example, we’re splitting a 32bit word into a 16bit “HIWORD” and a 16bit “LOWORD“, and splitting the two Continue reading TechTip: Using HIWORD/LOWORD & HIBYTE/LOBYTE in a macro on Weintek HMI
This TechTip is about automatically changing the HMI window when logout, or Auto logout occurs. This could be useful if you want to ensure that if a user with elevated privileges leaves the HMI without logging out then the HMI Continue reading TechTip: Window Change on Auto-Logout Weintek HMI
Macros are a powerful and flexible tool that complement built-in features with their complex logic operations and data processing capability. The task of writing macros may seem daunting at first, however, macros have fixed syntax rules that are checked by Continue reading New Feature Announcement: Macro Debug Tool for Weintek cMT Series
This TechTip is about using a macro for a simple calculation to determine the difference between 2 values. To calculate the difference between 2 values, first we use the “>=” operator to determine if value1 is greater than or equal Continue reading TechTip: Calculating The Difference Between Two Values Using a Macro In a Weintek HMI
Introduction This TechTip is about using a Macro to generate a QR code to scan with a phone to access via FTP* the HMI to upload history files etc from it. As usual, we’ll break it down so you can Continue reading TechTip: Using a Macro On a Weintek HMI to Generate a QR Code For The History Upload Address
This TechTip is about using For/Next loops to ramp up and down a value on a Weintek HMI. The macro is using local word LW 100 as the output, the time in mS between steps is set by “time” (LW Continue reading TechTip: Ramp Up and Down a Value Using a Macro On Weintek HMI
In this TechTip we’re looking at using tags in a project and how they work in a macro. Address Tags are a great way to maintain control of elements you may wish to reassign later to an alternative address. In Continue reading TechTip: Using Project Tags In a Macro On a Weintek HMI
The reduced interface in EasyBuilder Pro for the cMT-GXX series Gateway means that to start the EasyAccess 2.0 service we have to find a way to set the EasyAccess Control word LW 10820 to “1” to start the service. (At Continue reading TechTip: Enabling EasyAccess 2.0 on a cMT-GXX Gateway
This TechTip is about using “StringCat” in a Weintek HMI macro. You may already be familiar with using CONCAT in Microsoft Excel to link different text strings together to form a new string, this is what StringCat does. In this example, Continue reading TechTip: Using StringCat in a Macro on Weintek HMI
In this TechTip, we’ll be looking at For-Next loops in the Weintek HMI macro language. It will be assumed that you’ve already got some basic knowledge of Weintek macros. As in other macro TechTips we’ll start off by declaring some Continue reading TechTip: For-Next Loop in Weintek HMI Macro
