Best Practices

Browser Support

There have been noticeable issues in rendering large charts (near full-screen size) in Firefox and as such Streamline does not recommend it's use with this product at this time until a suitable work-around can be found.

SC Charts performs incredibly well in chromium based browsers such as Google Chrome,Chrome, Microsoft Edge,Edge, and even the Ignition Designer.Designer.

Installation

NOTE: upgrade guide!

Installation is as easy as any other Ignition module. Simply navigate to the module installation page within your gateway web browser, install the downloaded file, accept the certificate, and enjoy!

Upgrading

It is recommended to uninstall the previous version of the module before upgrading. All views which were previously configured will retain their props but may require additional configuration should there be breaking changes between versions. All version release notes are detailed in Releases.

Minimum Requirements

WASM based charting does utilize additional memory to achieve lightning fast rendering optimization and as such Streamline recommends the use of the following minimum requirements for a seamless development experience. These suggestions are not strict but they do provide additional safety buffering to ensure you can meet your clients needs. Also note that these requirements are based on datasets of 100000 points or larger, basic hardware may be acceptable for more typically sized datasets.
