DESIGNER contains basic drawing features including
freehand lines, boxes, circles, arcs, ellipses, and more.
Text is displayed 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.
Energy and temperature dashboard graphics are
easier to create using the Enhanced Graphic controls.
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.
System Configuration and Maintenance
The Insight Backup Utility provides the following
capabilities:
 Back up 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.
Dynamic Plotter
Dynamically plot the values of up to 15 points
simultaneously to troubleshoot and tune the system.
Capture and store trend graph charts for future
reference. Easily set up and save points in templates
to be run when the need arises.
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. You do not have 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.
Once a report is set up, it can be scheduled years in
advance and run as often as it is required. Reports can
be scheduled to print, saved to a file, and/or e-mailed
to select individuals. Once the report is scheduled, you
can walk away with the confidence that you will not
miss a report and important information.
System Activity
Capture and report on individual operator activity to
identify system utilization and training needs.
By using the System Activity Log, system managers
can determine if they need to alter an operator’s
privilege and access. The System Activity Log
captures all Insight operator actions to the system
including database changes. By recording the actions
an operator is taking on the APOGEE Automation
System. The System Activity Log can be used as a
useful tool to help determine if additional training is
needed for an operator or to document or change an
operational procedure.
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 application 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 setpoints or static air
pressure. High and low limits are also displayed on
the scale.
 Graphics can be linked to related applications or
documents.
 Graphics can be created and customized to suit
any operator’s need.
