14 Replacing Data Sources

A layout references process variables by URL, including host and port. To use a layout with another process, for example when moving from a development machine to the target system, select Replace... from the context menu of the data source.

• Replace during this session only keeps the layout file unchanged. This is useful to test a layout against a simulation.
• Replace permanently changes the URLs in the layout. Save the layout afterwards.

The dialog also allows to enable TLS encryption and authentication for the new data source.
