1. DGUS_SDK Instruction
1.1 Operation of DGUS_SDK
1. DGUS (DWIN Graphical User Software) is an intelligent GUI design software for DWIN DGUS
LCM with K600+. By using DGUS, magnificent display effect can be achieved easily and rapidly,
with much less programming than ever before. Variables are defined by DGUS_SDK and users
can feel free to design the visualize GUI. All parameters and images can be downloaded via SD
card which stores related .bin files to make your design into real application.

2. Install DGUS_SDK_V3.4:
Unzip DGUS_SDK_V34.rar, and click DGUS ToolV3.4.exe to run it.
(.net Framework 2.0 is required to run the software).

3. VP (Variable Pointer): The addresses of variables in variable SRAM (56KB). Users can set
buttons with defined VP, to change the value in this address and display contents corresponding
with the value in VP address.

SP (Stack Pointer): the address of definitions, starting address of description data of variables.
Change the value in particular address to modify variable properties. Take <WordArt> function as
example.
Data
Add. Definition Description
Length
0x00 0x5A03 2
0x02 *SP 2 Stack pointer, default setting is 0xFFFF.
0x04 0x0007 2 The whole process length (in terms of words).
0x06 0x00 *VP 2 Variable pointer.
0x08 0x01 X,Y 4 Top-left coordinate of text, left aligned.
0x0C 0x03 Icon0 2 Icon ID corresponding to 0, the sequence is “0123456789-.”.
0x0E 0x04:H Icon_Lib 1 Address of icon file.
ICON display mode.
0x0F 0x04:L Icon_Mode 1
0x00: transparent, others: opaque.
0x10 0x05:H Int_Num 1 Length of integer digits.
0x11 0x05:L Dec_Num 1 Length of decimal digits.
0x12 0x06:H VP_Data_Mode 1 0x00: integer (2 bytes), 0x01: long integer (4 bytes).
If SP is set at 0x5000 for WordArt variable,
VP parameter will be saved in 0x5000 address,
Variable position parameters will be saved in 0x5001-0x5002 address.
And so on.

 Professional, Creditable, Successful DGUS_SDK User Guide V3.4.0

4. When you need to handle with icons, please copy icon files into <DWIN_SET> folder to
operate them in DGUS_SDK_V3.4.

5. How to select area for buttons & variables.

A. Input coordinates directly.

or
B. Drag the button/variable with mouse.

6. Define SP address for variables.

SP defines the description of variable settings; to reduce overlap of SP address is necessary.
There is overlap judging embedded, Configuration files won’t be created with failure message
when it comes an overlap of SP address.

7. Import existing DGUS config. files into new project.

A. Create a new project.
B. Add pictures.
C. Import config files.
D. Copy icon files into <DWIN_SET> folder.

Note: Frame header is self-defined by users. In this document, A5 5A is taken

as frame header for instance.
