The objective of this chapter is to describe how to use the Config. Output
feature of the USER–PAK option to create custom runtime displays by
defining
Text , Tool , and/or Graph type viewports.
This section introduces the capability of creating custom runtime displays, by
posing some questions about custom runtime displays, and answering them.
What are custom runtime displays?
Recall that runtime displays are those displays which appear on the monitor
while the CVIM is operating in run mode. A number of different types of
runtime displays already are used with the base CVIM software, such as the
Results Page, or the I/O Page (the subject of configuring the available
runtime displays is discussed in the CVIM User’s Manual). With the
USER–PAK option installed, you can create additional custom runtime
displays, such as the example display below.
