Console preferences
The console preferences are used for the configuration of various parts of the console - displaying of basic console parts, control windows, alarms and alarms lists, graphs and system logging.
The preferences contained in this dialog box have effect on all users who can log on to the console. However, individual user can customize them (in dependence on his/her access rights) - the chapter User preferences.
Notes:
User must have the respective rights to set the preferences.
User can view and set just the preferences he/she has got the access rights to.
The preferences are being configured through the dialog box Console Preferences - computer_name.HIP (where computer_name is the name of the computer, on which the given console is running) opened by clicking the item Console Preferences ... from the menu System.
The dialog window can be divided into the following parts:
Environment
Language
Specifies the language for multilingual support in the process D2000 HI. For more information see the chapter Dictionary.
Main toolbar
Shows the Main toolbar.
User toolbar
Shows the User toolbar.
Navigation toolbar
Shows the Navigation toolbar.
Status bar
Shows the Status bar.
Beep on query / message
Enables the audible alert of an incoming query / message for operator (message is the result of the MESSAGE action).
Confirm closing HI
Closing the process D2000 HI requires an extra confirmation from operator (except closing HI from the menu System).
Monitor
Specifies the number of the monitors the console (the process D2000 HI) is to be open on.
Possible values:
0 - HI is open on all monitors connected (default value).
1...3 - HI is open on given monitor (opening windows). If the monitor is not connected HI uses the value of 0.
Note: The parameter is ignored for the Multidisplay HI mode - HI maximized on all monitors.
For more information see the chapter HI in multidisplay environment.

RFID parameters

Name of COM port where RFID tag is applied.
Baud rate of COM port.
Example: com3;9600
Number of windows with improved drawing
The improved drawing property eliminates blinking when the D2000 system redraws the representation of new value. That is executed by means of the system memory and the D2000 system shows just the result effect on the monitor.
Because the feature makes the operating system to consume a high amount of the system, user can set the number of such pictures opened at the same time.
Warning: After the entire system memory is consumed, the process D2000 HI will be terminated.
Control windows
Modal
Enables the modality of control windows.

Shows object description in the titlebar of control window instead object name. The parameter is ignored, if object has no description or control window is open for structured object item.
