Configuring the file transfer mode

Usually, when the application is downloaded, files which the visualization requires for display are transferred to the respective visualization device. These are mainly image files or text list files.

Alternatively, you could also configure the visualization to access local files. No files will then be transferred during a download.

. To allow the visualization to access the local files, the following configuration is required:

  • The file paths for image files or text list files are relative.

  • The link type for image files is Link to File.

Use local visualization files

Requirement: Your project with an image pool open.

  1. Open the image pool.

  2. For each image, select Link to File as the Link Type.

    The image is linked.

  3. Click Project → Project Settings and then select the Visualization category.

  4. In the General tab, under Image files, specify the local paths of the image files with relative path names.

    Example: .\;.\images\

    Note: If no path is specified here, then the setting in the Options dialog, in the Visualization category under Visualization directories is used.

  5. Open the visualization manager.

  6. Under Advanced settings, select the Visibility option.

  7. Under File transfer mode, select the Use local visualization files option.

    No files will be transferred during a download. When displaying the visualization, the local files are integrated.
