Screen features
- Displays one branch at a time from the variables tree starting at the root and ending with the variables for the chosen branch.
- Only variables that match the user's Browse Level (or levels) are displayed. Branches that do not contain any matching variables are not displayed.
- Branches and variables are designated by their Description. The Name is displayed if the Description is not present in the PcVue project configuration . The use of the Description property for branches and variables is normally preferential, as it does not have the constraints that affect a variable's Name.
- Branches and variables (register, text, bit and alarm) are clearly differentiated with different icons.
- Tapping a branch will navigate to the next level of that branch which may contain more branches, variables or a mixture of both.
- Tapping a variable's name will open the Variable Details view for that variable. Which details are displayed depends on the configuration of the Mobile Server in PcVue.
- Tapping a variable's icon will select the variable. The menu actions can then be used on that variable.
- Tapping the trend icon, adjacent to any register variable, adds it to the Trend view, and the icon color changes to red.
- Variables that have been added to the Watch List are indicated with a star adjacent to their icon.
- For branches and / or variables that have an associated mimic or symbol, an additional view, Visual, is available. See the section below.
