The EisBaer Windows client is the actual display and operating programme for the created visualisation. The connection to the EisBaer server is realised both locally and via the LAN/WLAN/WAN or via a VPN tunnel. Several client connections are possible at the same time, even with different user logins previously defined in the editor project.
With the function "Logout after [min]", a time can be set. After this time has elapsed, a user change is carried out automatically. The user entered under "User/Password" is changed.

This setting determines how many pages of the project load at client startup. This increases the memory requirements in RAM, but offers faster page changes and higher user interface performance. |
Fill Cache at Start |
|
If this option is active, the number of pages set above will be loaded into the cache. |
Graphics Optimization |
