Instead, the Designer, Vision Client, or Perspective Workstation will need to be installed and run from an Intel-based machine.įor the sake of brevity, this section will focus on installing the Designer Launcher, but the steps for installing the Vision Client Launcher and Perspective Workstation are all very similar. Note: Although you can run the Ignition Gateway and Perspective Sessions on ARM-based Desktops (such as a Raspberry Pi), the Designer, Vision Client, and Perspective Workstation cannot be run on ARM-based Linux machines. There is a Welcome Portal Application under the Production Gateway, while the University Gateway features two Applications that each lead to a different project. Multiple projects from a single Gateway can be represented in a Launcher. The Vision Client Launcher and Perspective Workstation work under a similar pattern, except each application represents a project in a Gateway. Selecting either Application and clicking Open Designer will launch the Designer for the selected Gateway. This Launcher has two Applications configured, the Local Gateway and the Production Gateway. The Ignition Designer Launcher is the Launcher for the Designer. An Application is a configuration in a Launcher that is associated with a project.

To understand the purpose of a Launcher, we need to understand what an Application is. This page describes the download and installation process common to the launcher applications and Perspective Workstation, as well as the common property settings. Some property settings are unique to a specific launcher application and will be detailed on that specific launcher application's page. The application launchers and Perspective Workstation mentioned above, all download, install and configure their property settings in the same way. Perspective Workstation - opens Perspective sessions from an Ignition Gateway, in a standalone desktop program.Vision Client Launcher - opens Vision Clients from an Ignition Gateway.Designer Launcher - launches the Designer against the configured Gateway.For the purposes of clarify, the following are considered 'Launchers': These launchers are the main means of launching an Ignition runtime application. To help with managing these separate systems, Ignition Gateways provide several 'launcher' programs for each runtime. Ignition features several launchable runtimes: Vision Clients, the Designer, and Perspective Sessions.
