Customizing the Vista Interface
Standard Vista diagrams show much of the data that the factory-configured meter
measures and calculates. However, the factory-configured meter can provide
additional data that is not presented by default with these display tools. This data
can be added to the standard Vista diagrams by placing addition diagram objects
on them; or, you can create new user diagrams to display any additional data you
want.
Vista cannot be used to customize data displays on the ACCESS meters
themselves.
NOTE
Level 5 ACCESS software authority (Supervisor) is required to create and configure new Vista diagrams.
If you do not have Level 5 password authority, contact your ACCESS software administrator for assistance.
Diagram Objects in a User Diagram
Diagram objects provide the interface to ION registers in your network, and to
DDE values from other applications. Each diagram object displays a single piece
of information from somewhere in your power-monitoring network; for example,
a single numeric object displays numeric data from a single source.
If your account has permission to edit user diagrams, the following diagram
objects are represented by icons in a floating toolbox.
If this toolbox is not available in Vista, yet you have the proper permissions to edit
user diagrams, you must select Options > Show Toolbox from the Vista menu. A
check mark next to the option indicates that it has been selected.
To place a diagram object, simply click, drag and drop the object you want from
the toolbox onto the current Vista display window. Once you have added the
diagram object, right-click the icon to specify the actions you want it to perform.
Complete details on configuring diagram objects and creating Vista User
Diagrams are in the online WinPM.Net Help.
