WinPM.Net: Vista
Vista is a display, analysis, and control application. It is the main user interface to
the WinPM.Net system. Vista presents a graphical view of your power system,
allowing you to view real-time data from power meters or historical data from the
WinPM.Net database. It simplifies the tasks of managing your power system and
transcends a number of physical device boundaries, so you can retrieve, store, and
display data from any device in your system through a unified interface. Vista
reports on the status of your power system components, informing you of alarm
conditions and providing you with control capabilities for initiating intelligent
device functions or actuating field machinery.

Displaying Data with Vista

A standard set of Vista User Diagrams display real-time and logged data for
various power system parameters. Interactive objects are provided on the
diagrams that allow operators with appropriate authority to enable and disable
logging functions and reset cumulative parameters.
A network diagram uses links to default user diagrams to display data from each
device in your system. When you generate a network diagram, Vista automatically
locates all devices in your system and displays them.
Generating a network diagram in Vista
1. Select Generate Network Diagram from the File menu.
The Network Diagram initially looks like this:
2. Click the appropriate grouping object. These are labelled according to the
device’s “Group” value in the Management Console.
NOTE
If you have Show Toolbox selected in the Options menu, you must double-click diagram objects and icons
instead of single clicking them.
