(2) Preloading page
When the page is added in the ‘Preloading page’ list, Xpanel preloads the page before project execution. This reduces speed for opening the pages with large sizes.
Up to 8 base pages can be added in the preloading page. Up to 4 pop up pages can be added to the preloading page list.

The [Scroll Message] tab will be added when you select the ‘Using Scroll Messages’ box on the [Window] tab. Under the [Scroll Message] tab, you may configure the appearance of a scroll message. The message starts if an alarm turns on. If multiple alarms turn on, their descriptions are displayed in rotation. Messages end once the alarm is cleared.
