The client application can be installed on any machine that will be able to access the XPression machine via a network address.

Application Logs

You can access the application logs that provide information on the work the app is doing as well as providing additional debugging information when errors occur. 

The Application specifically uses the following 3 scenes from the XPression project file:

• FS^Chart GRAPHS

• FS^Chart2 Graphs

• FS_^TABLE5C

Special Settings

There is a special setting that controls how XPression scenes are managed in the app. By default the IsSceneObjectReleaseEnabled value is set to False. It was introduced in build 1.26.4983. This disables the code that explicitly releases the scene COM objects when it no longer needs them. To enable this setting, close the app and then edit the file settings.ini in the folder C:\ProgramData\Bannister Lake\RFD-TV Finance XPression. Finally reopen the app. Enabling this setting has been associated with increased occurrence of the XPression software crashing.
