Properties tab – Alarm
The alarm object provides a list of the alarms that occur on the H
YDRA module that displays the alarm object. The
alarms are sorted by their occurrence, where the latest alarm is listed most top. The alarm object can be sized as
big as required. If there are anyhow more alarms than fit in the object, the least recent once will not be dis-
played.
By means of the lists on the Properties tab, the font type and size of the writing and its color (Foreground) can
be chosen as well as the color of the grid and of the background.
Properties tab – Viewer
The viewer serves to display different viewer applications. This could be for example a remote monitor of a
WinVNC server or a Pixelmetrix DVStation desktop viewer. The VNC software to setup a remote monitor and the
viewer can be found on the iS
TUDIO documentation CD ROM R5976593 in the directory:
3rdparty/research_att/vnc_x86_win32/winvnc/
Please see also the VNC documentation for the installation of the WinVNC server.
Due to performance reasons it is recommended to use not more than four viewer objects at the same time.
Within the Properties tab the IP address of the remote computer, whose display shall be showed must be in-
serted in the Address box. The Pixelmetrix checkbox must only be selected for a Pixelmetrix DVStation desktop
viewer.
If the Scaling checkbox is selected the content of the remote monitor is scaled to fit the viewer object. Other-
wise the upper left corner of the monitor content is fit to the upper left corner of the viewer object. It depends
on the size of the viewer object, if the whole monitor content can be seen.
With the Filtering checkbox a filter can be used to get a higher display quality. This is at the expense of process-
ing power of the H
YDRA. Black and white can only be activated if filtering is also checked. Black and white has
the advantage to demand less processing power than the pure filtering. We recommend trying out how much
filtering is possible without slowing down the H
YDRA too much.
Please refer to section
5.6.9 Show viewer for an instruction how for test purposes the content of a viewer object
can be displayed on the monitor of the operator PC.
