Abstract
An arrangement has a computing unit which is connected to a memory unit, an operator control device and a display device. The computing unit displays, on the display device, a first operator control display which is read out from the memory unit and is composed of at least two display elements, evaluates an operator control operation which is performed by means of the operator control device, and reads out a second operator control display, assigned to the operator control operation, from the memory device. In order to improve the ability to perceive the relationship between the first and the second operator control displays, at least one of the display elements from the first operator control display is also contained in the second operator control display (), the at least one display element in the first operator control display differing from the second operator control display in at least one of its display properties. The computing unit performs a gradual transformation of the at least one display element from the first operator control display to the second operator control display and displays it.
