Action Tag | You can assign an address or tag for playing and stopping the animation bitmap object. | |

Num. | Determines the number of times the animation will play. The value can be set from 0 to 32767. | |
0 | The animation bitmap loops continuously without stopping. | |
1+ | The animation bitmap plays once, then stops. When you assign a number greater than 1, the animation bitmap plays for the assigned number of times, then stops. Note: Each time the control tag is turned off and then on, the animation will begin playing again, even if it has previously completed the chosen number of cycles. | |
Interval | Determines the duration of each frame in the animation bitmap. Numbers correspond to multiples of 100ms. The value can be set from 1 (100msec) to 32767 ( 3276700msec). 1 is the fastest option (10 frames per second), while greater values slow the animation down. For example, a value of 3 will cause the animation to play at 1/3 of its maximum speed. | |
