About Preferences
The preferences section of viewLinc contains several system
preferences that affect the behaviour and display of the
application throughout. This section controls the following
options in viewLinc:
• Choosing whether the Channel and Device descriptions
displayed in viewLinc come from the system or from a
user-defined alias.
• “Preferred Temperature Units” can be set as C (Celsius) or
F (Fahrenheit). This procedure does not alter how the
logger measures temperature - it only alters the units in
which temperature is displayed.
• Choosing session expiry time after which a user or
administrator must reconfirm their identity by reentering
their password. This prevents non-authorized users from
making changes to viewLinc. This setting is applied
universally to all viewLinc users and administrators.
• Choosing if comments are required or optional.
• Choosing the default value for MKT Activation Energy.
This is used in reports and trends.
• Technical support log allows the administrator to turn
support tracing on/off. It sets the amount of information to
be logged in case of any support issues.
• The security key is displayed here. This is the license key
purchased from Vaisala for this system.
