With Geo SCADA Expert's newer web interface, Virtual ViewX, we recommend that you use one of the following HTML5-compatible web browsers to display Geo SCADA Expert data:
-
Google Chrome
-
Microsoft Edge
-
Mozilla Firefox.
The Virtual ViewX server uses a screen virtualization technology to render ViewX content in the web browser. Virtual ViewX is supported by Geo SCADA Expert 2019 onwards, and requires network access in order to obtain the data from the Geo SCADA Expert server.
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.
The Original WebX server built into the database server of Geo SCADA Expert is still part of the product. Original WebX uses Microsoft’s ActiveX Controls technology to display Mimics, Lists, Trends, and so on. ActiveX Controls are only supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer; as such, the Original WebX client requires the 32-bit version of:
- Internet Explorer 11.
Both web servers (Virtual ViewX and Original WebX) can coexist on the same host, but for performance and security reasons we recommend installing them on separate machines.
