Hide setup menu:
This option instructs the device not to add a link to the built-
in setup menu, so that the built-in setup is not accessible. The user may provide
customized setup pages instead, matching the local language and the design of
the other pages. See section 7.3 for details on this topic.
Disable touch gestures:
This option causes the touch gestures to flip pages and
open the setup menu to be turned off.
Ignore data point value state:
This is a compatibility option which will be
checked automatically when an older project is loaded. Turn it off to enable the
new feature of tracking the state of a data point in addition to its value. For
example if an input NV has a receive timeout set and does not receive a value,
the point will go OFFLINE and the display will indicate that the value shown is
no longer considered valid. Note that using invalid values in a formula will
automatically invalidate the result; therefore it is possible to turn state tracking
off for individual data points (see the description of the data point object). The
checkbox here is a master switch to turn state tracking off for the entire project.
Create separate data points for read/write:
This is a compatibility option,
which is automatically set for projects created with older configuration software.
It makes sure that new data points for bidirectional data transfer are still created
as separate read and write points, instead of a single value data point. To upgrade
an old project to use value data points instead of read/write pairs, convert the
existing data points as needed using the context menu command
Convert to value
and uncheck this option for future data points to be created as value data points.
Enable deploy to LROC device:
Used by the L-ROC automation system to
determine if this project should be compiled and deployed automatically.
Enable all settings:
Can be used in LWEB projects to enable all project settings,
even those which are not used by LWEB clients. This can be helpful with a
workflow where the primary design is done on an LWEB project and this project
is later converted and downloaded to LVIS devices. In LVIS projects, this setting
may enable features which are otherwise hidden because they are LVIS specific
(not supported by LWEB) and will therefore break compatibility of the LVIS
project with LWEB clients, which can be a problem in some use cases.
11.2.2 System Settings
The settings which can be made in this section are:
Device Name:
A device name can be given using this field. It will be used as the
host name when the device requests an IP address at a DHCP server and it will be
used as a server name by the built-in VNC server. The device name will also be
available on the device in a system register, so it can be displayed or connected to
other data points so that it can be seen on the network.
Time Source:
This dropdown list allows to set a specific source for time
synchronization. This avoids possible conflicts if there is a time signal coming in
from more than one source and the time is not the same. Select the desired source
for time synchronization from the list.
Update Scheduler Config:
This dropdown list is used to set the behavior of the
configuration software when a project was downloaded to the device or uploaded
from the device and there are local schedulers configured. Depending on the
setting here, the configuration software will either automatically synchronize the
scheduler configuration data, ask the user if the configuration should be updated,
or not update the configuration, in which case the user may manually update
using the commands from the connection menu.
