Introduction

The entire atvise webMI visualization is based on open web standards. All individual displays are stored in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format and are delivered to the browser of your choice by the web server included in the atvise server.

Basically, every web browser that supports SVG, JavaScript and xmlhttp request should be able to display this visualization. To view a detailed up-to-date compatibility list, please visit https://www.atvise.com -> Compatibility List.

To view the visualization of your project, start a compatible web browser and call up the machine on which the atvise server is running. To do this, type in the IP address or the host name of this machine in the address bar of the browser.

Hint

If the atvise server is running on your local computer, you can start the visualization by typing in http://localhost.

Due to the interdependence between visualization and licensing, please note:

Hint

For information about the CCD licensing in atvise scada, see the section atvise scada CCD licensing.

User interface

atvise provides several default layouts for the visualization that can be selected after the first project start or via server settings (open the context menu with a right click on My Server and click the Edit Server… option). The layout "Advanced 1920 x 1080 (16:9)" is described as an example.
