SignCoEDS support for Signco-EDS

After Java has been updated on your computer you cannot View Display via the View Tab in the communications window of DXFC (Dsign Xpress Full Color). The current version of Java is not supported on the V5 Sign Controller causing the View Display Tab to stop working correctly. If you need to view the display you can download and save (unzip/extract) the small program ViewDisplay to your computer.

 

 

ViewDisplay.zip Download and Extract All Files (unzip).

You can install the old version of Java (NOT RECOMMENDED) to make the View Display work within the software.
