Configuration User Interface Improvements

Various improvements were made to the configuration user interface of the TrendWorX64 Viewer to help make the configuration experience better. These enhancements include the following.

• Chart > Cursors tab

• • The data source for the first and second cursors have new options on the "more" ("...") button. Choosing "Current Position" will hard-code the current cursor position into the field. This value becomes the starting position for the cursor. Choosing "Default" will reset the cursor to its default value ("{{localsim::_cursor1:String}}" or "{{localsim::_cursor2:String}}").

  • The data source for the cursor tooltips has new options on the "more" ("...") button. Choosing "First (1)" or "Second (2)" will hard-code a value of 1 or 2, respectively. Choosing "Default" will reset the visibility data source to its default value ("{{localsim::_cursortooltips:Int32}}").

• Chart > Legend tab

• • The "Available Columns" and "Selected Columns" fields are now labeled.

  • In the default columns added to the legend in a new TrendWorX64 Viewer, the width of the Description column has been increased from 100 to 200.

• Chart > Pens

• • For new TrendWorX64 Viewers, the default for uncertain and bad plot mode was changed to "Plot" instead of "Leave gap".

• Chart > Range

• • The data source for the range has new options on the "more" ("...") button. Choosing "Current Range" will hard-code the current range into the field. This value becomes the starting range for the viewer. Choosing "Default" will reset the range to its default value ("{{localsim::_timerange:String}}").

• Pen > General tab

• • The parameters in the Connection field are now automatically set when adding multiple pens at once or when changing the pen data source while the connection parameters are undefined.

  • The time zone and ideal pen settings have been moved into the "Time Settings" section on the General tab, along with the new time shift setting.

• Pen > Style tab

• • Items related to the pen style have been moved to a new Style tab.

  • Maker size is now available on the Style tab. Previously it was only available on the Advanced tab. A value of zero will make the marker size automatically.

• Pen > Values tab

• • The Calculations tab has been renamed to "Values".

  • Users will also find new options in the configuration user interface to account for new features. These user interface changes are detailed with their relevant enhancements.
