Chapter 11 - FINlite Graphics Tool

FINlite Graphics Tool Overview

The drop-down menus at the top of the Siemens FINlite Application and the navigation pane bars on the left side of the Siemens FINlite Application allow the user to work with the graphics files in many ways.

File Menu

The File menu allows you to access the File commands:

New opens a new graphics file.

Open File opens an existing graphics file.

Close closes the current file.

Close All closes all open files.

Save allows you to save the current file.

Save As allows you to save the current file in a new location with a new name.

Save All saves all open files.

Publish allows you to download the graphics file to the panel so it is visible via the Field Panel Web Server user interface.

Create Device Template turns a graphics file into a device template. This allows you to relativize points for later reuse. Relativizing allows you to re-associate points to graphical components. This is important when copying graphics and using points from another panel.

Exit closes the application.
