3. Provide the SCADA host with information about the various parameters it needs
to extract from the application running in the RTU. Typically, the SCADA host
software includes a utility that allows you to identify this information so it can be
incorporated into the database at the SCADA host.
4. Using whatever human-machine interface (HMI) tools exist for the SCADA host,
create graphical displays or reports that include the parameters from the
application required for successful operator interaction (setpoints, flow variables
and so on).
