Optix Graphic Libraries - Additional options

Posted By Adam Ackerman Feb 02, 2024 11:17:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
Very pleased with the Optix development environment, less than 4 hours after not touching it for a year and I have a pretty good understanding of it again. I am curious if there are any additional Graphics Libraries, Official or not, that I can look at for some additional button options. Round is great ...

RE: Factorytalk View Studio V13 Directory not updating to new Computer name.

As previously stated, this is only a Local project. The Project is running directly on the host, and we are not distributing anything. I know from 12 years of experience of working with this software that SE Local does in fact care what the name of the host is. It will be next week before I can sit ...

We are also a large OEM who deploys 100s of VersaView HMI with SE Local every year. We have been doing since the VersaView Line was first introduced; in fact, my company was one of the first to fully adopt the VV product line and standardized on the 6181F and later moved to the P. In this case "localhost" ...

This is a SE Local project. I didn't specify that previously, my bad. I am accustomed to running the Directory Configuration Wizard for the local directory after changing the PC name. This has worked in every version of FtStudio until V13 (Never tried V12) for SE Local projects.

It seems that the Gateway is not preventing operation, the issue with the PC name as referenced by the Gateway certificate not updating is still a thing though. So, what I see here is that two RA staff members are aware of the problem and what? RA is just going to ignore it and advise us to use one ...

1. I restore the same project over the top of the existing folders (overwrite). 2. exactly what I assumed above. - also, I don't think the Directory configuration wizard is working as designed, at least for the local directory. I mean, the suggestions here are just doing manually what the Directory ...

I have noticed an issue where if we change the name of the computer after configuring a SE project the Directory does not update the computer name being referenced; and running the Directory Configuration Wizard does not resolve the issue. Scenario: New VersaView for new SE project, computer name ...

I can pull that if you like, but I do feel like I have confirmed this is a local configuration issue. I just installed this on a non-domain virgin 6181p with win10 and had no issues at all. ------------------------------ Adam Ackerman ------------------------------

I have tried downloading V14 twice now and running the installers from my local system. Both times I get an installer error 1722. This suggest an issue with the Windows Installer package; however, I don't seem to have issues with any other setups. With that said, I would not be surprised if the issue ...

We lost a product line that had lineage and reliability with 20 plus years of development in the 6181 series. It was well built and robust and did everything possible to negate and circumvent the innate issues of being Microsoft Windows based. We then lost the promising replacement product line in the ...

RE: FactoryTalk View Studio ME *.mer file vs. *.apa file

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
I have never found an advantage to using .apa/.apb for ME projects. In fact, the advantage I see is using the .mer for storage as it is more portable. If the project needs reloaded, I can just send the customer the .mer and there is no need to restore it to a Workstation since the communications are ...

nope. Which is why I argue that FTv Studio is NOT a high-speed HMI solution; this also means it is not high availability either. I have even gone as far as building out expressions that only call a tag if the conditions are met, but FTv Studio still tries to evaluate that tag simply because it ...

I jumped the gun, this is not relevant to your hardware. You need Factorytalk View Studio Machine edition. This includes the ME transfer utility which is used to download and upload the Runtime projects. If the runtimes are on the same line and communicate to the same PLC you should just be ...

It does appear that I am missing the chat option for FT Hub and its products, our distributor specialist has it listed on their account, but I don't have the option on mine. so, I have sent in an email request to see if there is something in my account that needs addressed. I will admit that I am pretty ...

new issue. How does one get phone support for a product that does not require a license to use? So far, I have been told that we don't have phone support in our contract, we do.

Point 1 is safety concern, that's how we would handle it. Sounds like you are an OEM building a similar product; I too am an HMI developer at an OEM. I would argue that having two operators with the ability to interact with the system in the same way at the same time is a hazard to both the operators, ...

have you ever created a runtime before? If yes, run patches and reboot. If no, likely permissions issues. you need to be a local admin for most of the RA stuff to function. you also need to have permissions for the Public user. Also, run patches. ------------------------------ Adam Ackerman ...
