In addition to the multiple new features and improvements in this latest release, GENESIS64 contains new Commanding options that can be found within both GraphWorX64 and within the AssetWorX provider in the Workbench configuration tool.
These new Commanding options help users perform wide and varied tasks throughout the GENESIS64 suite, reducing the need for specialized scripting to perform the same actions.

Once you have created a new display (or are working on a display in progress), you can add a Dynamic element to the display that can be used to interact with added Controls within that display (for instance, a GraphWorX64 Viewer or a TrendWorX64 Viewer or an AlarmWorX64 Viewer, etc).
Control Options within GraphWorX64
Once you have added your desired separate elements within your GraphWorX64 display, you can enable commanding on a specific Dynamic element. In the example below, we want to create a titled button to acknowledge the alarms within an AlarmWorX64 Control within the same GraphWorX64 display.
An Example of Applying a Command to a GraphWorX64 Dynamic Element
First, create a new GraphWorX64 display, as usual.
You can add the needed elements in any order. Select the AlarmWorX64 Viewer from the Controls (for this example, we're using a sample control, but you could proceed in connecting the viewer [via the AlarmWorX64 Configuration tab once activated] to your own desired data source for the alarms), then draw a box to drop the viewer into.
Select a button from the Buttons section of the Dynamics ribbon. In our example, we selected a button where we can label it as "Acknowledge", as shown below.
With the new "Acknowledge" button selected, we can now select the appropriate Command from the Command pulldown in the Dynamics properties. (The Dynamics tab should appear on the bottom right, if not already selected).
Set the "Command" pulldown to "Acknowledge". [Notice that once you have selected a particular Command that the Command Parameters below change accordingly. For this example, we will proceed with the parameters "as is".
You can now save the display or click on "Runtime" to test the new commanding button.
An Example of Commanding in GraphWorX64
This is just a simple example of what the Commanding feature within GraphWorX64 can do.

The Close Window command closes the GraphWorX64 display window when this pick action occurs during runtime.
Command parameters are:
TargetType is the type of window to be opened. Some of these selections are window types, some are windows hierarchy (relative paths), and some are absolute settings (such as the Root window). For more information about windows, refer to Windows Dynamics. Choices are:
Current Display opens the same GraphWorX64 display; this is a refresh of the currently open GraphWorX64 display. Not supported in a Silverlight display.
Popup Window (Display Dependent)
Popup Window (Display Dependent - Modal)
Popup Window (Window Dependent)
Popup Window (Window Dependent – Modal)
Popup Window (Independent)

New Instance (Separate Process)
Any Named Window
TargetName is the actual window to be opened. Click the ellipsis button to open the Data Browser so you can identify the target.
GraphWorX64 maintains a history of the last 50 displays. You can navigate through the display history using the pick commands Display Back and Display Forward. These commands work similarly to Microsoft Internet Explorer's back/forward feature.
Note: The display file history (forward/back commands) remembers the initial alias settings specified when a display is opened and will reset those aliases when you go back to that display in the file history. |
Display Back acts like the Back button in a browser, moving users through a browse sequence of GraphWorX64 displays. Using this pick action lets runtime users navigate backward through the display history.
Display Forward acts like the Forward button in a browser, moving users through a browse sequence of GraphWorX64 displays. Using this pick action lets runtime users navigate forward through the display history. Command parameters are:
Command parameters for Display Back and Display Forward are:
TargetType is the type of window to be opened. Some of these selections are window types, some are windows hierarchy (relative paths), and some are absolute settings (such as the Root window). For more information about windows, refer to Windows Dynamics. Choices are:

Any Named Window is any window; specify the window name in the TargetName property.
TargetName is the actual window to be opened. Click the ellipsis button [...] to open the Data Browser so you can identify the target.
The Load Display command opens a GraphWorX64 display window of the type that you specify with the properties that you define. The window can be dependent or independent, modal or non-modal, independent or embedded, or it can even refer to the current display (which is a refresh operation). You can specify other parameters such what loads in the display.
For help understanding how to manage windows through commands, refer to the topic Windows Dynamics. Aliases can be used with this command; for more information, refer to Aliasing and Pick Actions.
Command parameters are:
FileName is the file name of the target window to be loaded during runtime; you can browse files or use the Data Browser.
DragDrop—True lets users move the window to a new location by dragging it there; False makes the window stationery.
TargetType is the type of window to be opened. Some of these selections are window types, some are windows hierarchy (relative paths), and some are absolute settings (such as the Root window). For more information about windows, refer to Windows Dynamics.
The TargetType parameter is used in conjunction with the TargetName parameter (see description below) to designate which display window to open into.
---
If TargetType is Self: (TargetName is unused):
Loads the display into the current window.
This is the default target type.
---
If TargetType is WindowOwnedPopup:
If TargetName is specified and there is already an open popup window that matches that name (and is owned by the current window), the display is loaded into that popup window.
If TargetName is specified and there is NOT already an open popup window that matches that name (and is owned by the current window), the display is loaded into a NEW popup window with the name specified by TargetName.
If TargetName is NOT specified, the display is loaded into a NEW unnamed popup window.
Window owned popups will always stay above the owner window and will be minimized when the owner window is minimized. Window owned popups remain open even if the display is changed in the owner window. Window owned popups will be automatically closed when the owner window exits runtime or is closed.
---
If TargetType is DisplayOwnedPopup:
Same as WindowOwnedPopup except the popup is owned by the Display (meaning, if a new display is loaded in a given window, all popups owned by the display that is being replaced, are automatically closed).
---
If TargetType is DisplayOwnedModalPopup:
Same as DisplayOwnedPopup except the popup is "modal" (disables parent window).
---
If TargetType is WindowOwnedModalPopup:
Same as WindowOwnedPopup except the popup is "modal" (disables parent window).
---
If TargetType is UnownedPopup:
Same as WindowOwnedPopup except the popup is "unowned" (they are owned by the desktop). Unowned popups will not necessarily stay above the window that opened them. Unowned popups remain open even if the display is changed in the window that opened them. Unowned popups will be automatically closed when the "root" window exits runtime or is closed.
---
If TargetType is Embedded:
Same as DisplayOwnedPopup except the window is an embedded child of its parent.
---
If TargetType is Parent:
If TargetName is specified and there is a parent window in the parent chain that matches that name, the display is loaded into that parent window.
If TargetName is specified and there is NOT a parent window in the parent chain that matches that name, the behavior is the same as Self.
If TargetName is NOT specified, the display is loaded into the first parent window (starting at the current window) in the parent chain.
If there is no parent, the behavior is the same as Self.
---
If TargetType is Root: (TargetName is unused)
The display is loaded into the topmost (root) parent window in the parent chain.
If there is no parent, the behavior is the same as Self.
TargetName is the actual window to be opened. Click the ellipsis button [...] to open the Data Browser so you can identify the target.
OverrideWindowProperties—True overrides the properties of the window into which the display is loaded; False leaves the window’s properties in place.
GlobalAliases - Click the ellipsis button [...] to open the Set Global Themes and Aliases dialog box, where you can set any global aliases that will be needed for the window.
LocalAliasCommandType - Specify how the local aliases will be set for the display to be loaded. Choose one of the following:

StopSoundOnMouse - Set to True to stop the currently playing sound when the pointer is no longer over the associated visual object. The ExecuteOnMouseLeave property must also be set to true.
The Popup Menu command opens a popup menu. Popup menus are often used to allow runtime users to switch aliases or languages, or to open one display out of a set. They are a great way of providing user interaction so that your display can have situational logic. You can configure the size, font, and position of the popup.
Popup Menu has one command parameter. MenuPosition, determines the position of the popup menu in relation to the parent object. Select MousePoint to pop up the menu at the current mouse position at runtime. Specify Left, Right, Top, or Bottom to pop up the menu to the left or right, top or bottom of the parent graphical object.

TransitionDuration specifies, in milliseconds, how long you want it to take for the view to transition. The default, 0 (zero), provides no transition; the view changes abruptly. For the transition to take 2 seconds, enter 2000.
The Start Application command launches a file or URL and opens the specified application or document in runtime mode. In addition to launching executables, you can launch various documents, including Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, HTML files, and text files. The registered application is automatically started when the file is launched.
This relatively simple command action requires that you specify as command parameters the FileName of the executable or document, as well as any command line Arguments to be passed when the application starts.
Tip: You could pass the command processor CMD.exe to the Start Application command, and by doing so provide a batch file as the input, or use a command as an argument. This opens up a powerful method for controlling devices, setting environmental variables, and performing any system or management function (WMI for example) that you can from a command line. |

The Acknowledge command allows a user to acknowledge alarms in an associated AlarmWorX64 Viewer.
When an alarm requires acknowledgement, the typical steps for acknowledging the alarm are:
An alarm is triggered and is added to the alarm grid on which it is used. (Only enabled alarms are triggered. An alarm that is not enabled is considered to be an alarm that is not ready for use or an alarm that is being decommissioned. Alarms are enabled when they are added to the alarm server, using the General tab of the AlarmWorX64 Server tag form.)
A runtime operator acknowledges the alarm; this puts the alarm into an Acknowledged state.
When the alarm condition no longer exists, the alarm leaves the grid as long as its acknowledgement requirements have been met.
You can create this command within the GraphWorX64 Viewer and Asset Navigator controls. You can apply this command to the AlarmWorX64 Viewer control.
Parameters for the Acknowledge command are:
DragDrop - Determines whether applying a drag-and-drop action on this dynamic causes the command to be associated with the object where the dynamic is dropped.
Alarm - Indicates whether the alarm represents a standard alarm (Condition), an operator commend (Simple), a tracking event (Tracking) or an unspecified type of alarm (None).
Acknowledge - Determines whether alarms on all objects (All), objects satisfying a certain condition (Comparison), objects satisfying a certain set of criteria (Filter), selected object only (Selection), or inactive objects only (Inactive) are acknowledged.
LowSeverity - Alarms with a severity less than the provided value are not acknowledged.
HighSeverity - Alarms with a severity greater than the provided value are not acknowledged.
VisibleOnly - Determines whether the command applies to visible elements only.
Comparison - Click here for how to use Acknowledge by Comparison. Acknowledge only the alarms that contain a value for a particular property (specified in the Field setting) satisfying the given expression. Used only when the Acknowledge parameter is set to Comparison.
Field - The property to examine when determining the objects whose alarms are acknowledged. Used only when the Acknowledge parameter is set to Comparison.
Comment - Associate the provided operator comment with each alarm that is acknowledged.
Target - The commanding name of target control that will handle this command. See CommandingName property on target control. You can use wildcards.
The Add Favorite command inserts a new favorite asset in target Asset Navigator's favorites folder.
Parameters for the Add Favorite command are:
DragDrop - Determines whether applying a drag-and-drop action on this dynamic causes the command to be associated with the object where the dynamic is dropped.
FavoriteName - The name of the favorite.
FolderType - Add a favorite to a selected or specific folder, or show runtime dialog to browse the folder.
FolderName - Specific folder name.
ItemType - Add selected or specific item to favorites.
ItemName - Specific item name.
Target - The commanding name of target control that will handle this command. See CommandingName property on target control. You can use wildcards.
The Add Operator command adds an operator comment for data selected in a target control. The command is supported by TrendWorX64 Viewer and the Fault Viewer.
Parameters for the Add Operator command are:
DragDrop - Determines whether applying a drag-and-drop action on this dynamic causes the command to be associated with the object where the dynamic is dropped.

You can apply this command to the TrendWorX64 Viewer control.
The report generated by the Export Statistic command with a TrendWorX64 Viewer target has been enhanced to be more customizable. Previously, running the Export Statistic command with a target of a TrendWorX64 Viewer would perform the same action as selecting the Export Statistics button in the trend viewer toolbar, which was to display a report that then could be saved to CSV or other formats.
Now, the action taken by the command depends on the TrendWorX64 Viewer configuration. The command itself has no new parameters, but in the target TrendWorX64 Viewer, the user can select the chart, go to the Data tab, and select the Configure button next to Statistics Export. Similar to the preexisting data export configuration, the statistics export configuration presents various configurable settings for the statistics report, including which columns to include in the report and whether to export visible pens.
By default, the Export Statistic command now immediately saves the report to a CSV file, but the user can return to the legacy behavior of opening the report page by selecting Use legacy export in the statistics export settings.
This functionality of the Export Statistic command is currently only supported in desktop (WPF) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Equivalent functionality for the HTML5 trend viewer is planned for a future version.

Parameters for the Zoom command are:
Target - The commanding name of target control that will handle this command. See CommandingName property on target control. You can use wildcards.
The TrendWorX Viewer is the only type of control that currently supports this command. In order for a TrendWorX Viewer to "accept" the command properly in GraphWorX64, you need to:
The Unit and Zoom parameters work in tandem to set a desired zoom level. To zoom to a desired percentage relative to the original zoom level, set Unit to "Percentage" and "Zoom" to the desired zoom level percentage (e.g. "100" reverts the viewer to its original zoom level, "50" causes the viewer to zoom in by a factor of 2). To zoom to a desired scale factor relative to the original zoom level, set Unit to "Scale" and "Zoom" to a positive number (e.g. "1" reverts the viewer to its original zoom level, "2" causes the viewer to zoom out by a factor of 2). The "None" and "Level" values of the Unit parameter currently have no effect on the target TrendWorX Viewer.
It's possible to scale only the time (horizontal) or value (vertical) axis of the TrendWorX Viewer by setting the Axis parameter to "Time" or "Value," respectively. To scale both axes by the same amount, leave the parameter at its default value of "Both." Note that it is currently not possible to scale the two axes by different scale factors at the same time with only one pick action (though strategic use of two pick actions should allow you to accomplish this task when needed).
