Console Preferences (Work with D2000 HI)

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 parameter groups:

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.

Font size in Logging/Alarms

The font size of data displayed in Alarm list and Logging windows (setting of the parameter is also valid for displayers of Alarms a Logging type).

Font size for messages/queries

Font size in the modal windows message and query, expressed relatively, as a percentage, against normal font size set in an operating system.

Shared context for pictures

Improved drawing of pictures (see the next Number of windows with improved drawing parameters).

RFID parameters

Settings for RFID scanner (if RFID authentication is used). It contains two mandatory parameters and one optional, separated by a semicolon:

    1. Name of COM port where RFID scanner is connected.

    2. Baud rate of COM port.

    3. Communication mode. By entering the value T, it is possible to change the standard mode (ID-Innovations RFID ASCII protocol) to text mode (RFID reader sends card ID followed by CR (ASCII code 13).

Examples:

  • COM3;9600

  • COM5;9600;T

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 consume a high amount of the system, the 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.

Description in titlebar

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

Display information

Clicking on a graphic object in the picture, that is linked to view, displays information (window or dynamic graph). Clicking on a graphic object with a local variable that is connected displays neither the information window nor graph - local variables are not D2000 system objects. For some options, the OnDynamicGraph event is called ( * ), which affects the result of the action.

Option for information display:

    • non

    • dialog box - information window display

    • graph - dynamic graph display ( * )

    • multigraph - dynamic graph display in secondary window ( * )

    • dialog CallBack - information window display ( * )
