CHAPTER 6
Projects
This chapter describes the concept of projects. It details procedures for creating and amending
projects, and the process of associating users with projects. It also deals with the process of
compiling a project.
Overview
A CX-Supervisor application consists of a number of pages linked together. The pages may contain
passive or active graphics, text or animations, and may be grouped together logically to form a
project. A project may consist of many pages, or simply a single page. Projects may be built and
tested within the CX-Supervisor development environment, and run “stand-alone” under the CX-
Supervisor run-time environment.
Only one project at a time may be open for editing within the CX-Supervisor development
environment. An attempt to open a second project forces CX-Supervisor to close the current project
(prompting to save changes where there is unsaved information), and open the second project.
Runtime Editions
The Development package can create applications for different Runtime platforms. The target system
uses the same CX-Supervisor 'Runtime' software but needs a USB Dongle that matches the chosen
target. The type of project is either chosen on creation or changed from the Target Settings dialog.
CX-Supervisor Machine Edition
For most HMI and visulisation projects. These projects only require a Machine Edition USB dongle
for the Runtime.
CX-Supervisor PLUS
Where features additional to the Machine Edition are required. These projects require a PLUS USB
dongle for the Runtime.
