3.1.4 Attributes (Column D)

Process variables in ProSoft i-View are represented in ‘cells.'
You can configure the behavior and display of the monitored variables by setting the
appropriate attributes. For example, some of the available attributes are "section," "label"
and "comment."

An attribute description in column D of a source file follows this general pattern:

attribute := value;


For example, a boolean process variable like the one represented in the first cell on the
figure above could have the following attribute description:

ord := 1 ; section := "GENERAL" ; label := "Main Run/Stop Switch" ;

comment := "Main Process Start/Stop" ; access := 3 ; write_access

:= 5;

The way the cell is actually displayed in the figure implies that the current user has an
access level of 5 or above, because a selectable switch is provided as the process
variable value instead of static text. See User Accounts (page 71).
