There are two options for displaying CimView screens on the Viewer.
Each viewer can have its own copy of the screen files (.cim) in a local directory.
Benefit |
The screens will load faster. |
Issue |
A screen designer or system administrator will have to make sure that whenever a screen is modified, it will be re-copied to every Viewer it is on. |
Screens are loaded on the Viewer from a shared directory.
Benefit |
Screen changes are sure to display on each Viewer. |
Issue |
The speed of screen loading is dependent on the speed of network configuration and traffic. |
Notes
Screens are most commonly loaded from a shared directory.
If you want users to display a keypad on the Viewer, configure a …\Proficy CIMPLICITY\Data\gefkeypad.cfg file to use the /Keypad option on each Viewer.
