SCADA: Select the RTU being selected.
Font: Sets the default font for labels and text. Click in the font box, then click the
small button at the end of the box to select a font.
Charset: Specifies the character set of the font. Dependent upon what values of
Charset are valid as supplied by the font vendor.
Color: Sets the color of the text.
Height: Sets the height of the font object in pixels. If you wish to use a specific
point size, you should set the size property.
Pitch: Can be set to one of three values: fpDefault, fpFixed, or fpVariable. Using
fpDefault as the pitch value will cause the default pitch style to be used with the
font. The fpFixed and fpVariable values can be used to explicitly set the pitch; a
value of
fpFixed
causes each character in the font to have the same width (mono-
spacing), while a value of fpVariable allows different characters within a font to
have unique widths.
Size: Sets the point size of a font object. If you need to ensure that the font fits
within a specified area, you can manipulate the Height and Pitch properties.
Style: Sets the default style of the font or text.
fsBold
: Sets the default to boldface.
fsItalic : Sets the default to italic.
fsStrikeout : Forces a line through the font.

fied.

the box width.
The DataPointValue displays the current numerical value or state of the specified I/O.
(See
Properties listed above)
The DataPointAlert can be used to change or set a property of another element on the
palette when an I/O value changes from On to Off or crosses a threshold. As an example,
you could place the DataPointAlert and the WavPlayer elements on the palette. Assign the
DataPointAlert to an I/O value and set the threshold type and threshold value properties to
determine when to play a Wav file. The
DynComponent
property selects the element on the
palette you wish to change, in this case the WavPlayer. The DynProperty selects the property
of the DynComponent you wish to change. In our example you would select Play, because
we want the Play property to be set when the DataPointAlert is tripped. You can use the
DataPointAlert
in many ways to affect changes in the realtime screen components. (Note that
