Use JUMO Animator


When the installation is complete, the extension can be opened in Inkscape under the following path:

Extensions  -> JUMO Animator -> JUMO Animator

Important: You must first select an object that you want to animate! The object may need to be created in advance. The size of the sheet is also relevant for the later process image animation.

A distinction is made between logging in to a normal local JUMO smartWARE SCADA installation and logging in to the JUMO Cloud. If you log in to a local JUMO smartWARE SCADA installation, then you only need the URL to the application that you enter to reach JUMO smartWARE SCADA. For the JUMO Cloud, the "SystemURL" corresponds to the figure below.
