The Show Server User Interface button appears on the Server
Browser dialog box only when you invoke the Server Browser from
the Engine Manager.

If your application does not shut down within a few seconds after you
close the BridgeVIEW Engine Manager, BridgeVIEW displays a dialog
box notifying you to shut down your HMI application. You can ensure
your application shuts down when the Engine shuts down by monitoring
the shutdown output of any Tags or Alarms VI or the Engine Status VI
in your diagram. This technique is explained in Chapter 4,

What Are System Errors and Events?

System errors

are conditions on a system level (as opposed to a per tag

basis) that result in problematic functioning of the BridgeVIEW system.
When a system error occurs, BridgeVIEW prompts the user with a dialog
box. You can turn this dialog box on or off.

System events

are changes in the system that cause a change in behavior

that is not problematic. These include events reported by utilities such as
the Tag Configuration Editor.
