Recommended settings to work with surface automation
Prepare your computer with the recommended settings of screen resolution, scale, and color depth.
Screen Resolution
Capture the anchor images with the same resolution that the computer's screen has at run time to avoid mismatch in image recognition. For example, an image with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 is different from an image with a resolution of 1280 by 720.
Setting the screen resolution at run time
You can use the Set Screen Resolution (setScreenResolution
) command to set the screen resolution at run time. It receives as parameters the
screen width, height, and bits per pixel.
Scale
IBM RPA requires a screen scale of 100%. Scaling changes can compromise automation, as surface automation uses the element's position on the screen to recognize what will be automated.
Color Depth
Check the bit depth set on your computer's screen as it can vary from screen to screen. The bit depth value set to represent the color, so the greater the number of bits, the greater the range of colors that the monitor can represent.
