Target Settings in Category Visualization

The items described for this tab can be available for each standard target.

Dialog item	Meaning
Display width in pixel Display height in pixel	An area of the given width and height will be displayed in the editor window when editing a visualization. Thus e.g. the size of the screen on which the target visualization will run later, can be regarded when positioning the visualization elements.
Use 8.3 file format	The file names of the bitmaps and language files which are used in the IEC 61131-3 editor visualization will be shortened to the 8.3-notation format and loaded to the PLC in this format.
Alarmhandling in the PLC	The task ALARM_TASK will be inserted automatically in the task configuration. It will process an implicitely created ST-code evaluating  the status of the particular alarms ( Alarm configuration, Overview) and if applicable executing the associated actions. The ST-code needs auxiliary functions of library SysLibAlarmTrend.lib. This library will be loaded automatically. Additionally the implicitely needed libraries SysLibSockets.lib, SysLibMem.lib, SysLibTime.lib, SysLibFile.lib are loaded. These libraries must be supported by the target system. Hint: The ‘Alarm handling in the PLC’ can be used even if no web visualization has been activated. Even then the required ST-code will be generated.
Store trend data in the PLC	The trend handling in the PLC will be activated. The task TREND_TASK will be inserted automatically in the task configuration It will process an implicitely created ST-code for recording the trend data in a ring buffer and - if option History is activated in the trend element - for storing the values in a file system. The ST-code needs auxiliary functions of library SysLibAlarmTrend.lib. This library will be loaded automatically. Additionally the implicitely needed libraries SysLibSockets.lib, SysLibMem.lib, SysLibTime.lib, SysLibFile.lib are loaded. These libraries must be supported by the target system. Hint: ‘Store Trend data….’ can be used even if no web visualization has been activated. Even then the required ST-code will be generated.
Activate system variable ‘CurrentVisu’	The system variable System Variables can be used for switching between visualizations.
Supported fonts in the target	List of fonts which are supported by the target system.
Simplified input handling	If activated:  In Operation over the Keyboard the input handling in visualizations is simplified: Tab and Space are not needed to get from one input field to the next one. The selection is automatically given forward to the next field after having terminated an input by Return. An input field also can be reached via the arrow or Tab keys and then immediately an input can be entered. If not activated: Tab and Space must be used to get to the next input field and to select this field for making possible an input.
Web visualization	If activated: All visualisation objects of the project are compiled for the usage as Overview objects.
Compression	If activated: The following files for the web visualization, which are to be transferred to the web server/ PLC, will be transferred in a packed format (zip-Format); otherwise in original format: - XML visualization files - image files (only  *.bmp, because with others no compression effect) - language files (*.xml for dynamic texts, *.tlt, *.vis) The files additionally to the existing file name get the extension “.zip”. The dot in the existing name will be replaced by an underscore (example: “PLC_VISU.xml” will be renamed to “PLC_VISU_xml.zip”) No compression is done for the Java-archives (minml.jar, webvisu.jar) and the main page webvisu.htm.
Prevent download of visualization files	If activated: When the project is downloaded, all files which are used in the current visualization will not be downloaded to the target system. Visualization files are only downloaded for web visualization and can be bitmaps, language files and for web visualization also XML description files.
Keyboard usage for tables	If this option is activated, in online mode the keyboard usage of tables in the visualization (IEC 61131-3 editor HMI or web visualization) is possible. Switching off this option will effect that no code is generated for the key functions.
