Tips for Using the Graphics View

Graphics files can be viewed but not modified via the Graphics View in the Field
Panel Web Server User Interface. See the
FINlite Graphics Tool
section for
information about creating and modifying graphics.
If your system requires large graphics, it is recommended that you use a USB
memory device (such as a thumb drive) to save memory.

Using the Graphics View

Opening a Graphics View Tab

A
Graphics View
application tab can be opened for a particular graphics file from the
Device/Points application bar in Navigation Pane, the Graphics application bar in the
Navigation Pane (as the default application area due to a default.fnl file in the panel),
or from another Graphics View application tab.
More than one Graphics View tab can be opened. However, it is not recommended to
have more than six (6) Graphics View tabs opened simultaneously.

Graphics Features

The graphics files created by the FINlite Graphics Tool can be published to the panel’s
RAM (Drive A) or USB (Drive B). These graphics files are then accessible from the
Field Panel Web Server user interface.
A graphic can be used to show point values in text fields, show point values via
animated graphics components, and navigate to other applications (Trend View,
Schedule View, Point Commander, another graphic) etc. For more details on the list of
available graphics features, see the
FINlite Graphics Tool
section.
