Example TFT configuration
This page describes a sample configuration process for setting up Views App Windows software on a stand alone computer.
Enter License & Download Software
After buying 52-8511 Views App license, you can download the software from DHD Update pages or it will be sent to you directly.
The software will only work if the license key is entered into your core device. To find out more about licensing, see Licensing Documentation.
Install Views App (Windows)
Unpack the .zip
archive on your hard drive, e.g. C:\Programs\DHD\52-8511_07.00.XX
. Create a shortcut to Views.exe
on your desktop. Make sure only the administrator has write access to the directory where the config.xml
and program data are located, but every user has read access.
Important
We do not recommend to use the Views App Windows software on a network attached storage (NAS).
Configure Views App (Windows)
- Modify the config.xml file to setup the IP address of the core, where the TFT view/display you would like to show is located
- Also enter the ModuleID of the TFT that you'd like to watch with the software. The module ID is shown in the TB8 directly at the console TFT preview as “ModID xxx” (section
Console
) - Save the
config.xml
and start theViews.exe
See XML definition file page for more information on configuration.
Start the Views App (Windows)
Further changes within the config.xml require a restart of the software to apply the new settings.
