Creating and Editing Graphics
Graphics are easy to create and modify with Corel
DESIGNER®, a powerful graphics package.
DESIGNER contains basic drawing features including
freehand lines, boxes, circles, arcs, ellipses, and more.
Text displays in a variety of scalable fonts, sizes and
colors. With DESIGNER’s wide array of color palettes,
the operator can choose the standard colors or
customize colors.
DESIGNER supports library features that allow the
operator to select HVAC symbols from a template
window and place them in a new graphic. The operator
can also import existing drawings from an equivalent
Micrografx drawing package, or even AutoCAD®
drawings.
Insight software comes with an extensive library of
HVAC and automation symbols including fans, valves,
motors, chillers, standard ductwork diagrams, and
laboratory symbols.
Information and Reporting Capabilities
The Insight software information and reporting
capabilities are greatly expanded to provide insight into
your building operations. Simplified report setup is
standard. There is no need to be concerned with the
complexities of the building control system when
information is needed. The Insight software package
includes over 60 configurable reporting templates.
Operator Interface
Electronic Documentation:
A robust library of electronic documents is available
with every revision, including current Release Notes,
Online help, and printable User and Training Guides.
These documents provide detailed step-by-step
procedures so that you can use each application to its
fullest capacity and quickly navigate the system.
Dynamic Graphics:
· Point information displays and dynamically
updates on the Insight graphic.
· Graphics can be linked in a logical structure that
makes the most sense for the facility, allowing the
operator to navigate from building floor plans to
associated air handling units in seconds.
· Graphics can be accessed directly by name or
point association from other system screens such
as the alarm screen or trend plot.
· Animated graphics allow you to define the visual
movement of the control based on the point's
value.
· Point values can be viewed and commanded from
each graphic.
· Analog bars can be used to monitor and control
analog values such as set points or static air
pressure. High and low limits are also displayed on
the scale.
· Graphics can be created and customized to suit
any operator’s need.
· Graphics can be linked to related applications or
documents.
Commanding and Monitoring the System:
· Points can be commanded by the click of a mouse
button.
· Dynamic point display provides easy viewing and
commanding.
System Configuration and Maintenance:
The Insight Backup Utility provides the following
capabilities:
· Backup and restore databases
· Schedule recurring backups
· Delete unwanted backups to free disk space
System Profile is the Insight application that gives you
graphical, system-wide control for defining,
configuring, and maintaining your entire building
control network.
Custom Definable Buttons:
You can create up to 10 custom buttons that launch
applications from the Insight Main Menu. Depending
on your access level, you can create custom buttons
that launch/open local or network programs, files,
folders, or Internet/Intranet addresses. For example,
you can add buttons for third-party programs such as
closed-circuit TV (CCTV) systems.

of the following options to the Base Package:
Dynamic Plotter:
Dynamically plot the values up to 15 points
simultaneously to troubleshoot and tune the system.

Reports can be scheduled on a regular basis or even
years in advance and run as often as required.
