Monitoring the XG Series remotely (View
remote desktop)
This procedure displays the screen output from the
connected XG Series controller.
Note
XGA image output is not supported in Ver. 4. ∗.∗∗∗.
From the [View] menu, select the controller connection
to operate and click [Launch Remote Desktop].
The remote desktop appears.
Closing the remote desktop
Click the close button on the remote desktop window.
Switching the update method for the
remote desktop
Change the update method based on the processing load
of the XG Series connections and the PC that is running
the XG VisionTerminal.
From the [View] menu, select the XG Series
connection and then select the desired update
method.
The following three update methods are available.
• Asynchronous : Updates at regular intervals.
• Continuous : Updates in real time.
• Manual : Updates manually by clicking [Update] under
the controller connection in the [View] menu.
Reference
• Displaying remote desktops for multiple controllers using
[Continuous] may result in slow screen updates for all
connected XG Series controllers. In this case, select
[Asynchronous].
• The update interval for [Asynchronous] cannot be specified to
an arbitrary value because the interval is determined
automatically based on the current connection status.
• A check mark will appear next to the selected update method
when the menu is displayed.
Saving the remote desktop screen to a file
(Screen Capture)
This procedure saves the contents of the currently
displayed remote desktop screen as an image file.
From the [View] menu, select the controller
connection and then click on [Screen Capture].
The image shown in the current remote desktop will be
saved to a 24-bit bitmap image file (.bmp) on the PC.
The file will be stored in the [Capture] folder located
under the path set in the [Downloaded File Basepath]
field in the [Options] menu (Page 4-13).
Reference
• The destination folder can be changed in the [Options] menu.
• The captured image file will be named as follows: "controller
name_year-month-date_hour-min-sec.bmp".
Changing the target in handheld controller
view
This command changes the target controller for the
handheld controller view when multiple XG Series are
connected.
From the [View] menu, select the desired controller
connection and then click [Handheld Controller].
The selected XG Series controller becomes the target
of handheld controller view operations.
Reference
You can switch the target controller from the drop down list at the
top of the handheld controller view.

desktop window.
