GP-Viewer EX Features
From the [Project] menu, point to [System Settings] and click [Display Unit], select the [Remote Viewer] tab and check if the [Enable] and [Enable Screen Changes from Clients] check boxes are selected. Select the [Enable Remote Viewer] check box to use GP-Viewer EX. Select the [Enable Screen Changes From Client] check box to run screen change operations on the display unit from a remote PC.
Even when [Enable Screen Changes from Client] is set, if [Write GP-Viewer Data] is disabled in the security setup, the screen change from GP-Viewer EX cannot be performed.
When multiple GP-Viewer EX units are connected, it is possible to configure them to protect against multiple users touching screens simultaneously, by locking the other units after you touch one display unit screen or GP-Viewer EX.
From [Project] menu, point to [System Settings] and click [Display Unit] and click [Extended Settings]. Select the [Enable Operation Lock] check box in [Operation Lock].
When you select the Lock Screen touch check box, you can use the [Timeout] window to enter how many seconds to count down until the other display unit or GP-Viewer EX screens are unlocked after the last touch on the enabled display unit or GP-Viewer EX screen.
When [Write GP-Viewer Data] is [Disabled] under [Password Settings]-[Set Security Level For Each Feature], GP-Viewer EX and the display unit operations are not locked even if set to Operation Lock.
For more details on Operation Lock, refer to the following:7.7 In a Multiple Display Unit Environment, Make Only One Active
Security feature
You can restrict access to GP-Viewer EX by adding security to display screens or individual features. In the following example, security is set up for screen data operations run from a computer. Level 1 users can display screen data, and Level 15 users can display and operate screen data.
