FINlite Graphics Tool Overview
The Field Panel Web Server Graphics Application is a graphic utility program called
Siemens FINlite. FINlite can be used to create, modify, animate, and save graphics
files to be used with the Web Server user interface.
NOTE:
FINlite does not use vector graphics, so the graphics are not scalable. Graphics must
be created for the resolution of the monitor on which they will be displayed.
Siemens FINlite can connect to a panel and bind graphical elements to data points.
While connected to the panel, the user will be able to see current values, and
command points to see the affects on graphics.
Graphic files can be deleted from FINlite or the HMI.
Graphics files can be backed up to the Internal Flash Drive (IFD )through the HMI,
using the
Graphics backup feature, and deleted using the Delete_file feature in the
HMI..
NOTE:
Siemens FINlite supports Windows 7 and Windows 10.
NOTE:
Siemens FINlite is an Adobe AIR application.
Siemens FINlite provides the following operations:
● Graphics creation and deletion
● Graphics manipulation
● Graphics animation
