Operator Shortcuts

Double-clicking on any displayed point archive or time-stamped point archive provides a useful shortcut to view the archive's data in summary or graphical form.

Double-clicking on any mimic page, map page, graph specification or dual-parameter graph specification listed in an index (directory) or browse window displays the selected item.

Clicking on any telemetry point displayed on a summary, mimic page or map page displays a dialog identifying the point and providing a list of useful shortcuts.

Point Histories

All telemetry points have a recent history associated with them; a real-time summary or graph of this history can be displayed with a simple click of the mouse.

Event Archiving

The extensive event archive can be queried to filter the data to specific points and time periods of interest. Data from the current event archive can be displayed in real-time at the workstation, the latest events scrolling onto the screen.

Data Summaries

A wide range of station and point summary displays are available. A real-time summary can be restricted to display the stations and points of interest by selecting one of over 20 summary types and specifying the required search criteria.

Data Directories

The system's relational database lends itself to providing directories of information. Directories list database records of one specific type such as point identifiers, tag references, external references etc. Optional search restrictions can be used to filter the resulting directory. Special directories are provided to list all configured mimic pages, map pages, graph specifications and dual-parameter graph specifications.

Browse Information

Numerous browse options are provided to search the system and list all related information from the PC6-SQL database and AGWS6 libraries. Individual items can be selected directly from a browse dialog. Browsing is used extensively in mimic/map editing, database reconfiguration as well as in the general operation of the workstation.

Search Functions

Any displayed telemetry point can be identified with the mouse cursor and the workstation's search options used to display a list of all associated archive files, graph specifications, mimic pages and map pages. There is also a general search option which will search for system data matching the user supplied search string.
