FSM

The .fsm extension on files generated by the Serial Protocol File Editor (for more information, refer to Serial Protocol
File Editor on page 81) refers to Finite State Machine. A Finite State Machine is a behavior model composed of a finite
number of states, as well as transitions between those states and actions, similar to a flow graph in which one can inspect
the way logic runs when certain conditions are met.

SVG

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-
dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated). The SVG specification is an open
standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999. SVG images and their
behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted and, if required,
compressed. Since they are XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but drawing programs
are also available that support SVG file formats.

URI

In this document, URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, This is more specific than the more standard URL
(Uniform Resource Locator). In some operations, the IS-SPX Player Browser-Based Configuration Pages and the
interface of XPress request a URI for network connections. A standard URL may be used in these cases. Check with
your network administrator if a specific URI needs to be used instead.
FIG. 127 New templates in the My Templates workspace
Individual files and folders may be dragged and dropped from your computer’s
desktop or Windows Explorer windows into the My Projects tab, but this cannot be
done with the My Templates tab. All new templates must be added to the templates
folder before they can appear in the My Templates tab.
