Configure File Transfer Mode

When downloading, usually files required by the visualization for displaying, are transmitted to the respective display unit. These are especially image files or text list files.

Alternatively, you can configure,that the visualization accesses local files. So no files are transferred with a download

The following configuration is required to allow the visualization access to local files:

  • The file paths for image files or text files lists are relative.
  • The link type for image files is Link to file.

  2. Select for each image under Link type the setting Link to file.

    ⇒

    The image is linked.

  3. Select the command Project ‣ Project setting and select the category Visualization.

  4. Insert in tab General in Image files the local paths of the image files with relative path names.

    ⇒

    Example: .\\;.\\images\

    Note: When no path is specifiet, the setting in dialog box Options, category Visualization, tab File options setting Image files is usesd.

  5. Open the visualization manager.

  6. Activate under Extended settings the option Visible.

  7. Activate under File transfer mode the option Use local visualization files.
