Picture Editor, PED 400 SPIDERä Application The Picture Editor, PED 400 is a modern looking tool, PED 400 is consistent with MS Office type of PC based on the Microsoft Windows guidelines, for applications and is therefore easy to learn for users. efficient creation and maintenance of process graphic pictures in a SPIDER system. Basic PC experience is only needed in order to install PED 400. PED 400 is delivered on a CD, as an easy-to- PED 400 is designed to make it easy to define and use Windows Installer based installation and can hence maintain graphic pictures. PED 400 supports library easily be moved between PCs when needed. functions to speed up the definition as well as it provides cut, copy and paste between displays in an efficient way. PED 400 is one of the efficient and easy-to-use tools being part of the SPIDER Data Engineering toolbox. Functions PED 400 offers an extensive set of functions to develop The new or modified process display picture is thereafter and maintain the complete set of pictures in a SPIDER automatically distributed to all operator workstations. system.

Functions, continued GIS Import Pictures can be imported from GIS systems to PED 400 in a power system element oriented type of format. Imported ele ments may be re-imported incrementally and totally. Pixmap Import Pixmaps are images from photos or for example maps scanned to a pixel oriented electronic format. PED 400 can import these into graphical pictures. Pixmaps can be used as static images, as background maps and as dynamic symbols. Pixmaps can be connected to declutter levels and to named layers. Pixmaps are scaled at zoom. The following formats are supported: GIF, TIFF ILBM, JPEG, PPM (ASCII), PPM (raw), Sun The figure shows the task-oriented PED 400 HTML- based on- raster file, BMP, Fax group 3, GEM, Mac Paint, PCX, line help system. PICT, Targa, xwd, XBM and XPM. DXF Import Drawings in DXF format can be imported in PED 400, both for conversion to the SPIDER picture format and as a background format. DXF backgrounds are scaled at zoom. Named layers in the DXF background may be switched on and off for presentation.
