3.9 Display the IQ System
The Device Viewer enables inputs, adjustments, and drivers from the selected part of the system to be displayed.
(E.g. if the internetwork is selected, all values from the internetwork are displayed, and if a particular Lan is
selected, only values from that Lan are displayed). The types of values displayed can be filtered by type (inputs,
sensors, digital inputs, virtual sensors, critical alarms, adjustments knobs, switches, timezones, drivers, analogue
drivers, and digital drivers). The list of values can be sorted by column (label, units, item, Lan, OS, or PIN Level).
To view a value:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
2. Click or on the Mode menu click Device Viewer to select the Device Viewer.
3. Click the site, Lan, or device containing the values that are to be displayed. To view values from more than
one site click Global.
Note that the Navigator can be refreshed by right clicking it, and clicking Redraw Network from the
displayed menu. If there is not a plus or minus next to a folder that should have one this is because to save
time building the tree structure 963 builds the tree as required so just click on the required folder and it
will build the required part of the tree.
4. Click one or more of the buttons to display those item types. Selected items will change colour.

string. An asterisk ‘*’ can be used as a wildcard, to specify any number of any characters. Previously used
searches are remembered, and can be selected from the list in the Search box.
6. Sort the values by clicking the appropriate column heading, either by label, units, item, Lan, OS, or PIN
Level.
Normally the values are updated every 30s, however they can be updated manually when required by
clicking . Values can be adjusted by right-clicking the value that is to be adjusted, and clicking
Adjust Point. Compact graphs can be displayed by right clicking the value that is to be graphed and
clicking Graph Point(s). Precision graphs can be displayed by right-clicking the value and clicking
Collect full precision log graph(s).
When running 963 Secure the mean kinetic temperature can be calculated for a sensor value by right-
clicking the sensor and clicking Calculate MKT. In order to calculate the MKT value the sensor’s data
must be being recorded by 963.
Note that the value calculated is not saved anywhere, if 963 is to store the result, a scheduled MKT
calculation must be set up, see the 963 Engineering manual; for details.
7. Log off when the use of 963 is finished.
