Welcome to the Virtual ViewX System Configuration Guide

Welcome to the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Virtual ViewX System Configuration. This guide is designed to help you understand how the Virtual ViewX Server is configured to connect to your Geo SCADA Expert system, and how to edit or add further connections if required. The guide also provides information about the Virtual ViewX Manager.

The applications to which this guide refers are available on machines on which the Virtual ViewX server is installed.

In order to run Virtual ViewX, all Geo SCADA Expert servers must be running Geo SCADA Expert 2019 onwards; they cannot be running older versions of the software, or be set to emulate older versions.

Virtual ViewX is supported by Geo SCADA Expert 2019 onwards. We strongly recommend that you install the Virtual ViewX server on a different machine to the Geo SCADA Expert server. This is to avoid potential performance issues due to the number of resources that each application uses.

If you do install Geo SCADA Expert and Virtual ViewX on the same machine, both applications must have the same version and build number. This is because the applications share some resources.

Intended Audience

The Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Virtual ViewX System Configuration is aimed at administrator level users who are responsible for the initial set-up of Virtual ViewX System connections and settings. For information about Virtual ViewX features, you should refer to the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to ViewX and Virtual ViewX Clients.
