Creating graphic displays

11–39
To create a parameter file:
1. Open the Parameters editor.
2. Type one entry for each unique placeholder in the display,
associating the placeholder with a tag name. For example:
#1 = bean_weight
#2 = bean_level
#3 = bean_temp
3. Save the file with a meaningful name (for example, Beans).
For tag placeholders in alarm summary objects in graphic displays
only, you can use wildcards in the parameter file. For example,
#1 = bean_* is a valid parameter entry. The alarm summary would
display any alarms associated with tags beginning with bean_.
Note that you cannot use wildcards in placeholders for any other type
of graphic object.
To run a parameter file:
Type the following command in a macro or anywhere else you can use
an RSView32 command:
Display <file> [/Pfile]
where:
> is the name of the graphic display file.
[/Pfile] is the parameter file containing the tags to be
substituted into the display.
