Automatic Project Saving

Automatic saving of changes made during project design at a defined time interval can be configured through the AutoSaveSettings and AutoSaveInterval properties.

PropertyDescriptionDefault
AutoSaveSettingsEnables automatic project saving.False
AutoSaveIntervalDetermines the automatic save interval.600000

CAUTION: Unless otherwise specified, time values in this manual should be interpreted in milliseconds.

600000 milliseconds = 10 minutes

Alignment Lines

The DisplayAlignmentLines property displays alignment lines that help align objects in the screen design panel.

The property is False by default. Users can enable it to make screen design easier.

Application General Settings

PropertyDescriptionDefault
ApplicationFontDefault application font.Arial Narrow, 8.25f, Bold
DataTableRowHeightRow height in data tables.14
NewVersionCheckWhether version checking is enabled.False
AlarmOnWhether the alarm feature is enabled.False

Static Background

The StaticBackground property determines whether a static background is used.

Default: StaticBackground = False

Important Warnings

CAUTION: Correct configuration of MainFolder is important to ensure that the program can access project files correctly.

CAUTION: Unless otherwise specified, time values should be interpreted in milliseconds. For example, AutoSaveInterval = 600000 corresponds to 10 minutes.

CAUTION: In different software versions, some setting parameters may have been removed, hidden, or become inactive. Therefore, the current setting list for the software version in use should be taken as the reference.

Conclusion

General Settings are the fundamental group of settings that allows the EOS SCADA Editor project design environment to be configured according to user and project requirements.

Through this section, the project folder, active project, network and proxy settings, guide and alignment lines used in screen design, image usage, automatic saving, and various application appearance and behavior properties can be configured.

Especially during screen design, enabling guide and alignment lines can help place objects in a more organized manner.

The settings and default values on this page are based on the current software definitions in EOS SCADA 2026. In future versions, property names, values, visibility, or functions may change.
