Advanced VisTool Integration
"Logic -> VispageSwitch"
A
VispageSwitch
element can be used to configure MF Keys, or other control signals, to action VisTool logical
functions. For example, to create page switching buttons, snapshot save/load/delete and User Access Rights.
VispageSwitch elements are added to the "Logic" branch of the 'Tree Definition'. You should define an element
for each VisTool screen, and set the
Station ID
to match the
Station ID
defined in VisTool's Session
Management
window. Any VisTool screen set to a matching
Station ID
will then respond to the VispageSwitch
functions.
To enable VisTool page switching and snapshot functions you must tick the
EnablePageKey
and
EnableLoadSave
checkboxes within the VisTool Editor "Global Settings" window.
VisTool page switching and snapshot functions can also be configured using the “
System -> Definition -> Parameter = Snapshot
" elements. These methods
switch all VisTool screens regardless of their
Station ID
.
The
Nova29
does not support snapshots.
Each VispageSwitch element supports four sets of parameters: Logic, Snapshots, Rights and Labels.
