Data Logging

 Tags or points being sampled or recorded by Data Manager can be integrated into Data View for historical or real time display. Pan and zoom functions are available for high-resolution analysis, and a data box giving historical or real time values can be displayed. Any chart can be selected and loaded as the default chart. Unlimited charts can be configured and stored to hard disk.

Unlimited "pens" can be used, and the axis can be labelled using variable fonts and scales. A unique fill between traces function displays trends, and an auto ranging grid display can be integrated into the chart.

 

  The Annunciator                                                                                                   

 The Annunciator is a configurable and flexible annunciation panel. The various alarm options are for conditions that may require immediate attention from an operator. When the alarm condition becomes true, the annunciation panel will pop up on the screen, flash, sound and alarm and even send a warning to a pager or mobile phone. All conditions, alarms and errors are recorded in the event log for future reference.

Data Draw

 

A drawing package capable of being integrated into Data Manager to give dynamic objects and real time data display. The toolbox allows selection of lines, squares/rectangles, circles/ellipses, polylines/polygons, text/tags, times/dates, buttons, bitmaps and embedded charts. The objects drawn can be static/dynamic, filled/unfilled, solid/patterned, have line widths/no line widths and line/fill/text colours applied. Cut/copy/paste functions are also supported, as are grouping/ungrouping/resizing/moving/zooming properties. Custom colours can be generated from the color box, and an object properties box shows all the settings of a particular selected object. Layer control, if enabled, allows objects to be placed on different layers. These layers can be shown or hidden, depending on configurable conditions. The user can completely customise the screens they are creating for their system by applying dynamic properties to the objects placed onto the screen.

Data View enables the user to completely customise their screen, and apply dynamic properties to objects from tag values read from a remote device.
