Figure 7.1 Example Custom Runtime Display
How do you create custom runtime displays?
You create custom runtime displays using the Config. Output feature, which
becomes available on the Envir/Cam menu with the USER-PAK option
installed (Note: The Setup card must be inserted in the Color CVIM Archive
Memory slot prior to opening the Envir/Cam menu, to allow access to the
Config. Output feature).
With the Config. Output menus displayed, you select and configure runtime
displays, or “viewports,” as they are called on the Config. Output menu.
Viewports can include a bordered rectangular display area; you define the
dimensions for a viewport and position the viewport using a “pick & place”
capability, similar to that used in positioning inspection windows. You can
select display borders and background color (if applicable). Then you define
the viewport contents.
What types of viewports, or runtime displays, can be created?
You can create three different types of viewports – Text, Tool and Graph.
Within Text and Tool viewports, you can display text items, which might
include a term, such as “Gage Results,” or tool results, or other inspection
information. You define the Text and Tool viewport contents by defining
one or more viewport “strings.” Graph viewports depict real-time tracking
of the results of specified tools. You define Graph viewport contents by
defining up to three “variables.”
