Running the Real-Time Screen
Running the Real-time screen will make the SCADA 3000 software log in to each unit speci-
fied on the screen and begin updating the values of the components on the screen. The update
rate will depend on how many SCADA units the software must log into, what type of commu-
nication is used (radio, telephone, serial port), and the number of components on the screen.
SCADA units that must be contacted via telephone will be updated one at a time based on the
connect time parameters programmed for those units. When connecting to units via radio be
sure that your radio network has already been thoroughly tested and found to be satisfactory.
Don’t use the real-time screen as your first attempt at radio communications.
To start the real-time screen, click on the R.T. button from the Sensaphone Control Center
form, or select Real-Time from the main menu and choose Run. Next, select the file name of
the real-time screen you wish to run, and click OK. Note that you can maximize the real-time
screen by double-clicking on the bar across the top of the screen. To exit from the real-time
screen, select File, then Close from the main menu of the R.T. Builder form.
