Method for the parameter change of parameterisable functions by means of data processing devices

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the parameter change of parameterized functions for technical devices by means of a data processing device comprising pointing means and a display on which a sliding bar with corresponding sliding element is shown for the parameter change, which comprises the steps that a detection occurs if the pointing means is pointed thereon and the pointing means is actuated for the parameter change, and a parameter change is made on the basis of the detected pointing means movement. According to the invention, a plurality of icon images are saved on the data processing device for a plurality of parameters, which can each be uniquely assigned to the respective parameterizable functions, a plurality of the saved icons to be uniquely assigned are loaded for different parameters, a setpoint sequence of the icons is determined, a display with the sliding bar and a plurality of icons arranged thereon according to the determined setpoint sequence is generated, detection occurs if the pointing means is pointed to one of the icons and the pointing means is actuated and in response, a parameter change is made on the basis of a current parameter size of the parameterized function assigned to the selected icon.
