XR Bridge Application Configuration

Application configuration

XR Bridge can run in two different modes (silent or debug) and display in either of two skins, by setting corresponding values in the XR Bridge application configuration file XRBridge.exe.config.

<appSettings>

<add key="Auth0" values="true" />

<add key="debug" values="true" />

<add key="skin" values="dark" /> <!--light/dark -->

</appSettings>

Auth0

LAAS licensing relies on AVEVA Connect to perform authentication. AVEVA Connect has recently switched to Auth0 based authentication. For retro compatibility reasons, the old identity server authentication is still supported and can be activated by setting the Auth0 value to false.

Debug mode

The XR Bridge application will launch in debug mode if the debug value is set to true.

In debug mode, users can see the details of Simulations, Channels, Variables, and can record and replay a running simulation.

Silent mode

The silent mode is a read-only mode to observe the status of simulation and channels. The UI is hidden by default.

The XR Bridge application will launch in silent mode, if the debug value is set to false in the XR Bridge application configuration file.

When launching XR Bridge in silent mode, the UI is hidden, and app icon will stay in windows system tray (right bottom).

The user can see the UI by double clicking the app icon or right click > Open.

Skin

XR Bridge will display in either of the AVEVA supported skins: light or dark.
