HMI View Selection Dialog

The HMI View Selection dialog allows you to specify the Run Mode views visible to users from the human-machine interface (HMI) applications and the order of the views when you press the Switch View button in the HMI application. The HMI View Selection settings are saved in the job file.

Note:

The Current Image and Last Failed Image (Horizontal) and Current Image and Last Failed Image (Vertical) options are automatically included in job files created using In-Sight Explorer 4.5.0 or higher. If the job file was created using an earlier version of In-Sight Explorer, these options are only included if the job does not contain a Custom View or an EasyView.
The Current Image and Last Failed Image (Horizontal), Current Image and Last Failed Image (Vertical) and Image with Graphics and Custom View options are supported on VisionView only.
To toggle the Run Mode views in the Web HMI, you must first enable the Allow View Selection option in the HMI Settings dialog. For more information, see HMI Settings Dialog.
To toggle the Run Mode views in the VisionView, you must first enable the Switch View option in the VisionView Operator Controls screen.
