1.2.8 Displaying a device
The client application can display all devices in real time. Thus, each device provides one or
more overviews that allow its status and values to be displayed in real time. Display this view using the
"Views" menu option and then "Devices" or directly from the "Devices" button on the toolbar. In both
cases the user must search the tree for the required device.
User defined device tree organization
You can also access the display screen of a particular device from a SCADA screen where a
control device has been added.
A device display screen can have multiple appearances. Devices mainly define two types of
screens, one analogue and one text (numeric). The analogue view display most of the values in
maximum, minimum and present bars, while the current text view displays them in text form and
organized in different ways, usually in tabs.
A common element on all the display screens is that there are numerical values for the
variables which refresh in real time and can be selected to be used when making graphs or historical
graphs (trends).
Another common element is that on most displays there is an upper bar specifying the device
status, and the name and date on which the values displayed were read.
