Abstract

A method and a user device (10) for adapting a signaling of the field device (100) that can be displayed via a signal display (102) of a field device (100) are proposed. For this purpose, an user device (10) is used to define a color tone of at least one display element (104) of the signal display (102) of the field device (100), an attribute is assigned to the defined color tone of the at least one display element (104) of the signal display (102), wherein the attribute represents a meaning of the determined color tone for indicating a state of the field device (100), and a control signal is transmitted from the user device (10) to the field device (100), wherein the control signal contains information regarding the determined color tone and regarding the attribute associated with the determined color tone.
