Is there any way to open the I Station screens (that with file extension .A0) in WinXP environment? If there is a special software, can anyone please let me know about it?

Thanks.

 

No.

This question has been answered before, several times on control.com.

One is: http://www.control.com/thread/1026226381#1026226479, though you are cautioned that running IMAGE_PC.EXE is much more complicated than described in this thread. If you have IMAGE_PC.EXE, you can type IMAGE_PC /? at the command prompt and it will give you a "help" screen for some instructions how to use it. The command line in the example works for 98.89% of all .img files.

IDOS must be running to open .a0, .a1, .a2 (.an) files.

One must convert <I> "screen captures" of these files (saved to .img files) using IMAGE_PC.EXE which should be found in the G:\EXEC directory of any <I> running IDOS.

GE Mark V HMIs, which run a MS-Windows service called TCI and another application called CIMBRIDGE to allow CIMPLICITY to communicate with Mark V turbine control panels, don't use .an files, and wouldn't have IMAGE_PC.EXE in the G:/EXEC directory because there's no need to convert .img screen captures of .an files to .pcx files.

If you would explain exactly what you are trying to do, we might be able to help you, but you seem to be confusing <I>s and GE Mark V HMIs from your recent posts. Animated display item list files (files which have a .an filename extension, where "n" is a number from 0 to 7 for most applications since most applications have a limit of eight Mark Vs per multi-unit <I>) are specific to <I>s, which run IDOS.
