Image Editior for XML EtherCAT Device Description File

Hello everybody,

i´m trying to create an EtherCAT Device Description File for an comX-CA-RE device.
The device description works fine, but the last thing to do is changing the image in the xml file.
But, i´m didn´t find an editor to create images for xml files (e.g. base64 format)

<ImageData16x14>424DD6020000000000003600000028 ... </ImageData16x14>

Can anybody give me some imformation about creation or editing images in xml files?

regards,

markus

Hi Markus,

I do not know any Image Editor for XML EtherCAT Device Description Files.

What you find inside of the XML file is nothing else as a Bitmap graphic with the dimension of 16w x 14h.
So create a BMP file with this size and store it as a BMP. Open now the file with a HEX editor and you have the needed value ;-)

With other words it is a simple hex-coded BMP file.

Regards
AJ
