Introducing Station
A Station is, in effect, a set of 'control panels' through which you and your colleagues monitor
and control your system. (Station is a separate Experion program that runs on standard
computers, as well as on the server.)
Station presents information as a series of
displays
—each display is a 'control panel' that
shows a particular set or type of information, and has an appropriate set of controls, such as
'buttons' and 'scroll bars'.
There are two basic types of display:
n
System
. These are supplied with Experion and show information in a standardized
manner. For the most part, system displays consist of lists and 'electronic forms'
containing system configuration details.
n
Custom
. These have been created specifically for your system, and make it much easier
to interpret and control system activity, often making use of sophisticated graphics,
including animations.
