integrator to provide the necessary scripting to associate a function with the Setup button for these device types.

The right side of the screen contains a display of the device data. The tabs at the bottom enable you to select among the various data tables which can be displayed. The number of tabs (screens) varies according to the type and amount of data available from the device. The two main types of data are metering, which shows the data being monitored by the device, and setup, which is used to configure the device. Other tabs may be available depending on the device’s capabilities.

Some devices have push buttons that reset events or clear accumulated data; these will be discussed below in the individual device sections. These functions are represented by 3-D push buttons on the tabular data screens. When a button is pressed, a dialog box appears that either asks for confirmation of the action or states that the operator has an insufficient access level to perform the operation. If security is enabled in your application, the current operator must have an Access level greater than or equal to the Access level configured for each tabular wizard in order to issue device commands. See the CIMPLICITY documentation for more information on how to use security features.
