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.
