Tips for Using the Graphics View
● Graphics files can be viewed but not modified using the Graphics View in the
BACnet Field Panel Web Server User Interface. See the
FINlite Graphics Tool
section for information about creating and modifying graphics.
● If your system requires large graphics, it is recommended that you use a USB
memory device (such as a thumb drive) to save memory.
Using the Graphics View
Opening a Graphics View Tab
A
Graphics View tab can be opened for a particular graphics file from the
Device/Points or Graphics
application bars in the Navigation Pane (as the
default application area due to a default.fnl file in the panel), or from another Graphics
View tab.
NOTE:
In the Web Server user interface, it is recommended to limit the total number of
graphic tabs and dynamic trend tabs that are open to six (6) for performance reasons.
Graphics Features
The graphics files created by the FINlite Graphics Tool can be published to the panel’s
RAM (Drive A) or USB (Drive B). These graphics files are then accessible from the
BACnet Field Panel Web Server user interface.
A graphic can be used to show point values in text fields, show point values using
animated graphics components, and navigate to other applications (Trend View,
Schedule View, Point Commander, another graphic) and so on. For more details on
the list of available graphics features, see the
FINlite Graphics Tool section.
