Creating Data Display Screens
Chapter Objectives This chapter describes how to create data display screens.
Data Displays Data display screens allow you to monitor the value of registers in the
controller. The MicroView continuously reads the registers to update
(at a user-defined rate) the displayed values.
This is how a data display screen may appear:
To construct data display screens, you need to specify:
•
The type of screen as data display
•
The type of data stored in the controller register
•
The register to access (address)
•
Any data format and display information
•
The display position for the data
•
Any additional text information that you want to display
Scaling Data in controller data files can be scaled to standard engineering
units such as gallons, pounds, feet, etc. Data is scaled by setting up a
proportion between the controller register data limits and the
MicroView data display limits. Refer to the description of scaling in
Chapter 3.
