When the data source or the operator prints a display, everything on the screen is printed,

including the current display, pop-up windows, and any visible background applications.

Close On Top displays

Use these global connections to close displays remotely:

Close an On Top display—notifies the data source of the number of the On Top
display to be closed.

Close All On Top Displays—notifies the application to close all On Top displays
whose display number is not zero.

Only replaceable On Top displays can be closed remotely.

Apply parameters to changed displays

Use these global connections to replace tag placeholders in displays that use parameters
when they open:

Parameter file—identifies the parameter file for the display being opened remotely.

Use Parameter List—notifies the application that a parameter list is to be used to
provide the parameters to the display being opened remotely.

Parameter Tag #1-10— the tag values assigned to these global connections will

replace the tag placeholders in the display being opened remotely

.

Run macros

Use these global connections in the Macro tab of the Global Connections editor to run
macros:

If you plan to print graphic displays remotely, turn off the screen saver. If the screen saver is on
when a remote display print is triggered, only the screen saver image is printed.

For information abut turning off the screen saver on personal computers, see your Windows

documentation.

For information about turning off the screen saver on a PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6,
PanelView Plus, or PanelView Plus CE terminal, see the PanelView Plus Terminals User
Manual
