3. What is Graphics Editor tool?The Graphics Editor is a desktop environment that provides an easy-to-use UI and a set of tools to build user displays. It is a ‘Design Mode’ version of Exaquantum/Explorer and allows for importing HIS Graphics and creating Graphics Editor source files (PXG format) and Web Mimics (SVG format).

the HIS and saving the graphics as “.sva” file.

4.3. Click on [Add Files(s)…] to add single graphics file for conversion. Alternatively, click on [Add Folder] if you have multiple graphics files for conversion that reside in the same folder. After that choose the location to which you want to save the converted HIS Graphics and click on [Convert].

4.4. Open the Graphics Editor and go to [File] > [Import] > [Import SVG File…]. Choose the conversion result from the previous step and make sure to set the appropriate [OPC Gateway] so that the DCS Tags are linked properly to their respective Exaquantum Tags then click [OK].

4.5. To check and edit the links between the DCS Tags and Exaquantum Tags go to [Graphic] > [Variables…]. If “Role Based Namespace” is used for Exaquantum, make sure that the respective path is given instead of the ‘Root’ path.

4.6. After editing the graphics is done, go to [File] > [Save as Web Page…] and choose where to save the resulting Mimic. Take note that the resulting file will have “.svg” extension so make sure you DO NOT overwrite the original “.svg” file. Even though both files have “.svg” extension, their format and purpose are different.

4.7. After you are done saving the file, upload it to the Web Server and test it.
