Field Descriptions
Tag Display Table Alphabetically lists the information for tags you have selected, including the
value, units, timestamp, status, alarm state and error, if any. For writable
tags, which have a yellow background, clicking on the tag's value field
brings up the Write to Tag dialog box, that lets you specify a new value for
that tag. For bit array tags, the radix of the input value must be the same as
that of the tag's value field in the Tag Display Table. Click OK to write the
value in Value to Input and exit the dialog box. Click Apply to write the
value in Value to Input and keep the dialog box open.
Trigger Tag Displays which tag, if any, you have selected to trigger refreshing of the Tag
Display Table. If you selected a tag to trigger refreshing of the Tag Display
Table, the display refreshes when that tag changes value in the database, or
the monitor timeout period is exceeded, whichever occurs first.
Monitor Timeout
(sec) Displays the time interval in seconds that the Tag Display Table is
configured to refresh or update. If no trigger tag is selected, the display
updates at this time interval. Otherwise, the Tag Display Table refreshes
when the tag changes or the timeout interval is exceeded, whichever
occurs first.
