FSM
The .fsm extension on files generated by the Serial Protocol File Editor (for more information, please refer to
the Serial Protocol File Editor section on page 93) refers to Finite State Machine. A Finite State Machine is a
behavior model composed of a finite number of states, as well as transitions between those states and actions,
similar to a flow graph in which one can inspect the way logic runs when certain conditions are met.
SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-
dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated). The SVG specification is
an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.
SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed,
scripted and, if required, compressed. Since they are XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with
any text editor, but drawing programs are also available that support SVG file formats.
URI
In this document, URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, This is more specific than the more standard
URL (Uniform Resource Locator). In some operations, the IS-SPX-1000 Browser-Based Configuration Pages
and the interface of XPress request a URI for network connections. A standard URL may be used in these
cases. Check with your network administrator if a specific URI needs to be used instead.
