Set the intensity of the backlight on a PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView
Plus, or PanelView Plus CE terminal.
Monitor run-time RAM usage for troubleshooting purposes.
The use of each global connection is optional.
Set up global connections
Use the Global Connections editor to set up global connections.
For detailed information about the options in the Global Connections editor, see Help.
Update the date and time
Use the date and time connections in the Date and Time tab of the Global Connections
editor to update the date and time. You can assign any or all of the date and time
connections, or leave them unassigned.
Normally you would assign only one set of date and time connections, either to update the
date and time at the data source from the terminal, or to update the terminal’s internal
clock from the data source.
The values of assigned date and time connections are updated in the order, in which the
connections are listed in the Global Connections editor.
