Setting up displays to open more quickly
If graphic displays are stored in the display cache, they open more quickly. You can place
up to 40 graphic displays in the cache.
To cache a display, use one of these methods:
 Use the Cache After Displaying option in the Display Settings dialog box. For
details, click Help in the dialog box.
 Use the [cache] parameter with the Display command.
The [cache] parameter loads a graphic display into the cache without displaying it.
The parameter has two options:
 /Z loads the graphic display into the cache without opening it. When the display is
called up subsequently, it opens quickly.
 /ZA loads the display into the cache and continually updates the values in the
display, even when the display is not visible.
For details about the Display command, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Removing displays from the cache
To remove all graphic displays from the display cache, run the FlushCache command, or
close the FactoryTalk View SE Client.
To remove a specific graphic display from the cache, run FlushCache <file>, where <file>
is the name of the display you want to remove. For details, see the FactoryTalk View Site
Edition Help.
If a graphic display uses the Always Updating option with the Cache After Displaying
option, the display’s shutdown command is run when the FlushCache command is run, or
when you close the application.
Changing the default display settings
When you begin using the Graphics editor to create graphic displays for an application,
the values already specified in the Display Settings dialog box are used as default values.
For example, the Display Type property is set to Replace, the Title Bar property is
selected (meaning the display will have a title bar), and the Background Color property is
set to white.
