iFIX Startup Options

Once iFIX starts, the Startup dialog box displays a message and the Options menu is available from this dialog box. The following figure shows the iFIX Startup dialog box after you start iFIX in normal mode.

iFIX Startup Dialog Box with Options Menu

NOTE: If you start the iFIX as a service, the title bar of this dialog box reads  "iFIX Startup - SERVICE MODE." If you start iFIX from a teminal server session on the iClientTS node, the title bar to this dialog box read "iFIX Startup - iClentTS."

The Options menu on the iFIX Startup window lets you define startup window properties and view general conditions. The sections below explain the commands available from the Options and Help menus.
