Simple animation accomplished by Jumping to multiple panels, each panel containing a different frame of an animation sequence.

Animated GIFs or the like are NOT directly supported.

See the sample 'DefaultFancy' PCF supplied with the TSU7000 software for some very good examples to achieve .

If you have a TSU3000, then you won't have this PCF (unless you download the 7000 software).

Animation is a series of still pictures that are each displayed for a short duration. Just like hand-drawn cartoons... Make yourself a series of still pictures that when run together will simulate motion. Once the pictures are done, make each one a page in your config. In the actions for the first picture's page, set it to jump to page 2. On page 2, set the action to jump to 3, etc. You can also insert other actions and delays to affect the desired look. I use animations to do a windows-style progress bar. Interspersed between animation pages, I have IR actions and delays to make both the animation and macro execution smooth and timely. Practice and trial & error will be your best teachers.
