Summary View
Summary View Tab, in the Database Item View Window
Note: Remember that Detailed View and Summary View are two different ways of viewing the same information.
Changing fields in one view will change related fields in the other view.
The fields in the Summary View are identical to those in the DBK70Config program (PidPRO’s predecessor).
Summary View is primarily for users who are migrating from that software. The Detailed View provides an easier
interface to the fields and provides several automatic calculation features so that offsets and scales do not need to be
developed manually.
The Database Item View window does not have to be closed to return to the main window. If the main window is
brought into the foreground by clicking it, selecting any PID in the Database List will automatically show its
parameters in the Database Item View window. This feature allows easy browsing of the database list. Conversely,
when using the navigation tool at the bottom of the Database Item View window, the PID selection in the Database
list on the main window will track accordingly.
In regard to Summary View, each record of the DBK70 Database has 19 fields. Descriptions of each field follow,
except when the field directly corresponds to a field in the Detailed View. In the latter case, a reference is provided,
rather than a repeat of material. In several cases, fields in Summary View have different labels than do the
corresponding fields found in Detailed View. These instances are pointed out and both field names are provided.
