Chapter 8 Servers
BridgeVIEW User Manual 8-10 © National Instruments Corporation
Use the Server Browser to unregister a device server that you no longer
want to use (BridgeVIEW device servers only). This keeps the server and
related information from appearing in the Edit Tag screens. Notice that this
invalidates any tags that use that server. Once you have unregistered a
server, you can no longer connect to it from BridgeVIEW, and you must run
its configuration utility again to register it with BridgeVIEW.
Figure 8-4. Server Browser
The main screen of the Server Browser displays a list of servers available
to BridgeVIEW in the Registered Servers list box if launched from the
Engine Manager. The symbol to the left of the server name indicates
whether it is loaded and running. A black diamond indicates that the server
is loaded and running. A white diamond indicates that the server is loaded
but not running. No symbol indicates that the server is not being used in the
current BridgeVIEW Tag Configuration. The Server Browser also displays
the path to the active CCDB in its title bar.
To view information registered for a specific server, double-click on the
server name in the Registered Servers list box, or press the View Server
Devices… button. This invokes the View Server Device Information dialog
box shown in Figure 8-5, View Server Information Dialog Box.
To unregister a server that you no longer want to connect to your tags, press
the Unregister Server button with the server of interest selected in the
Registered Servers list box. This invokes a dialog box asking you to
confirm the operation.
