The first part of the file is composed of comments. The three blocks in the latter half
of the file define three MicroSCADA monitors numbered 1, 2 and 3. MicroSCADA
monitor number 1 is of type Local VS and it uses the smallest semi-graphic font
(scada810). MicroSCADA monitor number 2 is of type Remote VS. It is also to
be shown on the base system. It uses the medium size semi-graphic font
(scada1215).
All MicroSCADA monitors will be connected to the default application and given
default logical monitor numbers. MicroSCADA monitor number 3 is an X type
monitor to be shown on the base system screen. It uses the medium size semi-
graphic font (scada1215).
The monitors.dat file can include for example the following lines (for VS objects):
FONT=family:MS Sans Serif-size:8. When the user wants to use these
definitions from monitors.dat, mons must be started with -d -option.
The predefined monitors numbered 1, 2 and 3 are examples and can be
removed from the monitors.dat file.
3.5.9. Defining customized icon for SYS 600 monitors
To define an icon for opening a SYS 600 Monitor with predefined properties
without using the MicroSCADA Monitor dialog box:
1. Define a predefined monitor in the base system where the application is located.
2. Copy the original SYS 600 Monitor icon.
3. Edit the properties of the new icon by changing the target line. This can be done
by choosing the properties of the icon/program. Insert the command for opening
a predefined monitors by setting the following flags -d for the predefined
monitor and -r for retries. See the example below.
Example:
mons -r 4 -d mycomp 4
The command opens the predefined monitor number 4 on the base system computer
mycomp. By stating retries with the -r flag the program tries again if the network
initialization has not finished when the monitor is requested. The retries are made
every 5 seconds as many times stated after the flag.
