Step 2: Change the settings of the Alarm and Event Summary display
1. Right-click anywhere in the display and then, click Display Settings on the
context menu.
2. In the Display Settings dialog box, on the Properties tab, make the following
changes and then click OK.
‡ Under Cache After Displaying, click Yes and then select the Always
Updating check box.
When you set Cache After Displaying to Yes, the display stays in memory
cache when you close it. This shortens the time required to open the graphic
display the next time you do it.
When you select the Always Updating check box, the display continues to be
updated with changes in alarm states when it is cached. This shortens the time
necessary to update the Alarm and Event Summary with current alarms when
you open it again.
If Cache After Displaying is set to No, and the Always Updating check box
is cleared, every time you close the graphic display, all alarms are removed
from the Alarm and Event Summary. When you re-open the graphic display,
the Alarm and Event Summary is blank, and then begins to receive the most
recent alarms when they occur.
‡ Clear the Title Bar check box.
‡ Select the Size to Main Window at Runtime check box.
‡ Select the Allow Display to be Resized check box.
‡ Under When Resized, select the Scale check box is if it is not already
selected.
In any application, do not
include more than two
graphic displays that have
Cache After Displaying
and Always Updating set
because these options can
consume large numbers of
processor cycles.
