Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE

System Configuration 47

Please wait...

This happens when the amount of memory used by an Operator Window has grown large. The system
automatically replaces the Operator Window, in memory, with a new version using the minimum amount of
memory required for the display, reducing the amount of memory consumed.

The center section of the Operator Parameters Window contains a slider labelled Replace Size (MB). The
number of megabytes selected via this slider determines the amount of system memory which can be used
by Operator Windows before they are replaced. The default setting is the minimum, 4.5 MB, which is the
recommended setting. If few or no Please Wait messages are encountered, this setting should be left
untouched.

If the Please Wait message is encountered often, the amount of memory available to Operator Windows
can be increased by moving the Replace Size slider to the right. Replacement size can be increased to a
maximum of 5.5 MB, in increments of 0.1 MB.

Increasing the replacement size will reduce the incidence of Please Wait messages. It will, however,
increase the amount of system memory used by Operator Windows.

2.8.5.3 Initial Display in an Operator Window

When an Operator Window is opened, by default it contains the System Status Display. This can be
changed using the Initial Display portion of the Operator Window Parameters window. To change the initial
display to appear in Operator Windows, click on the desired entry in the Initial Display list box. The choices
include:

If Graphic, Summary, Group, Point, Trend or Printer Review has been selected, more than one display is
available for that display type. A pop-up window will appear to assist the user in specifying the index of the
desired display.

If None is selected, a new Operator Window will be left empty after it is opened. This avoids the delay in
calling up an initial, unwanted display.

2.8.5.4 Automatic Arrangement of Operator Windows

The Auto-Arrange Windows toggle button is selected by default. When this option is selected, Operator
Windows are arranged (tiled) automatically as they are opened and closed.

When this option is de-selected, Operator Windows are opened and closed without re-arranging other win-
dows on the display. Operator Windows can still be arranged on demand. To do so, from the System Win-
dow, select the sequence: Menu > Windows > Arrange Windows.

2.8.5.5 Return to Default Settings

To return the settings on the Operator Windows Parameter window to the default settings, click Default,
then click OK or Apply.
