Application Program
Associated with: WITS Application programs.
Application programs are a part of the WITS Field Device configuration which comprises:
- A bulk configuration file
- An incremental configuration file
- One or more application programs (if the Field Device supports and uses them). Each application program consists of a single file.
These files define how the Field Device operates. For more information, (see WITS Bulk Configuration Files, Incremental Configuration Files, and Application Program Files).
The Application Program attribute shows the version and the file size of the application program's file.
There can be two different versions of the application program: one in Geo SCADA Expert and one in the Field Device. If there are two different versions, the Status display shows the following information for this attribute:
Outstation: <version>, Master Station: <version> (<file size> bytes).
If either the outstation or the master station (Geo SCADA Expert) does not have an application program file, then the relevant <version> will be 'None'.
If the version of the application program is the same in both Geo SCADA Expert and the Field Device, the Status display shows the following information for this attribute:
Version: <version> (<file size> bytes).
If there is no application file in either Geo SCADA Expert or the Field Device, then the Status display shows the word 'None' for this attribute.
If there are different versions of the application program in Geo SCADA Expert and in the Field Device, you may want to:
- Download the version from Geo SCADA Expert to the Field Device ((see Download Configuration (WITS Application Program)))
- Upload the version from the Field Device to Geo SCADA Expert ((see Upload Configuration (Application Program))).
