Packing FoxView Graphics

If the Foxboro Evo graphics screens have lost their connection to the control point, resulting in displays showing cyan for all the values, the graphics may require packing. Packing the graphics re-establishes the link from the display to the control point.

To repack FoxView graphics, follow the steps below.

1. Open a command window:

   1. Click the Windows Start menu, and then click Run.

   2. Type CMD in the Open field.

   3. Click OK.

2. Start a Korn shell session by typing sh at the prompt.

3. Change to the graphics directory. For example, if the graphics were located in the "d:/opt/disp" directory, type the following command: cd d:/opt/disp

4. If the CPHost runs FoxView, pack the graphics by performing the following two commands. According to the number of displays in this directory, this process may be quite time consuming (sometimes up to one hour).

   d:/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/fdf_g *.fdf

   d:/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/g_fdf *.g
