A quick primer on basic setup modifications
The display editor is the core tool for editing a setup. To open the tool, go to
Setup | Display...
You can think of the display editor as a collection of tools for creating items on your screens. A DashDesign setup
consists of four logical components: Primary Inputs, Operations, Outputs and Gauges. These are defined as follows:
·
Primary Inputs
are raw data manipulated by an operation.
·
Outputs
are objects that obtain information from one or more sources or other outputs. An output manipulates the
obtained data according to the operation associated with the output. The result can then be used in a gauge or
another output.
·
Operations
are objects that define how the data is manipulated by an output. Examples of operations are scalars,
functions and alarms.
·
Gauges
are objects that are placed on a screen page. There are two types of gauge; static and variable.
·
Static
gauges do not change their appearance on the screen and include gauges such as text labels or
graphics.
·
Variable
gauges change their appearance to reflect data obtained from an output. Examples of variable gauges
are bar graphs, tachos and numerical text gauges.
