Available Components
The following is an overview of the display components available. The online
help has detailed information about each of the components and their
properties.
Pointer returns the cursor to a normal selection tool.
Status Bar depicts the selected data value as a single vertical bar.
Digital depicts the selected data value as a numeric value, text string,
or Boolean.
Alarm provides visual and/or audible notification that a data value
has exceeded a defined limit. An audible alarm can be disabled by
right-clicking the component with your mouse and selecting
Acknowledge Alarm.
Slider depicts the selected data value as a single horizontal bar. The
data value can also be set to a new value by moving the slider.
Label displays a text string that can be used to label other
components.
Switch indicates the state of a port, flag, input location, or Boolean
value. A 0 is considered Off (false); any non-zero number is
considered On (True). In run-time mode, right-click a switch to
change its state. The option to change the state of a switch with a
double-click can be enabled in the Properties window.
Image allows you to place a static image on the display.
Chart displays one or more traces on a line graph. The time stamp
on the X axis reflects the server clock. Note that a difference in the
server clock and the datalogger clock, coupled with a small time
window for the chart, could result in no data being displayed.
CommStatus Alarm provides a visual and/or audible alarm when
scheduled collection is disabled in the Setup Screen, the schedule is
paused from the Status Monitor, or communication has failed a
sufficient number of times to put the datalogger into a Primary or
Secondary Retry mode (the retry mode used is based on the
Sensitivity property for the component). An audible alarm can be
disabled by right-clicking the component with your mouse.
Time displays the server time, server time at last data collection,
station time, station time of last record stored, or PC time.
