Default Graphics

To set a default graphic for the panel:

1.When publishing the file, select the Default check box.

2.Select Drive A.

NOTE: Default graphics can only be saved to the A:\ drive. If you select Drive B, FINlite will automatically change the selection to Drive A, graying out the Drive B row in the Drive table.

Click Publish.

FINlite will automatically rename the file to “default.fnl”.

When you connect to that panel from the Field Panel Web Server user interface, the graphic will display as the default graphic.

NOTE: Because Device Template graphics are published to the Graphics\Application\AppID folder on the panel, rather than in the Graphics folder, they cannot be used as default graphics. See the Creating Device Template section for more information on Device Templates.

Creating Device Templates

You can create a graphics template from a single file for reuse with multiple FLN devices that have the same application ID. This is accomplished by using the Create Device Template feature (also called relativizing a file).

To Relativize a Graphics File:

1.Create a graphics file using a background graphic and components.

2.Connect to a panel.

3.Bind points from one of the desired FLN devices to each of the components in the graphic.

4.From the File menu, select Create Device Template.

 The Relativize Mapping window displays.
