SECTION 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.
6-1 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.
6-2 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 box.
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.
