3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY
The operator interface consists of a touch-sensitive screen, showing either process variable values in one of a number
of formats, or, showing configuration or operational details for use in setting up the recorder. This section (3) de-
scribes the process variable displays. Section 4 describes the Configuration displays.
Figure 3, below, depicts a typical trend display and gives details of the various areas of the display page.
Note: Dialogue boxes, message boxes etc. cause Process Variable displays to 'freeze' for as long as the box is
on display. Root and Option menus (amongst others) time-out (i.e. are removed from the display) after
approximately one minute. Messages, however, are displayed until the operator takes action to remove them.
It should be noted, especially, that several message boxes may be active at one time, but only the oldest one is
visible, until it is removed to reveal the 'next oldest' message, and so on.
