The objective of this chapter is to describe how to use the Config. Output
feature of the USER-PAK option to create custom runtime displays by
defining Text, Tool, and/or Graph type viewports.
This section introduces the capability of creating custom runtime displays, by
posing some questions about custom runtime displays, and answering them.
What are custom runtime displays?
Recall that runtime displays are those displays which appear on the monitor
while the Color CVIM is operating in run mode. A number of different types
of runtime displays already are used with the base Color CVIM software,
such as the Results Page, or the I/O Page (the subject of configuring the
available runtime displays is discussed in the Color CVIM User’s Manual).
With the USER-PAK option installed, you can create additional custom
runtime displays, such as the example display below.
