Display Configuration Tab

In the toolbar of the Display Configuration tab, the following groups of functions are available:

Add Elements
Delete Filters
Variable Filters
Display Window Type
Information window
Settings for Variable Selection
Help for variable selection dialog box

Note
You can insert additional filters in the toolbar through the context menu,see Configuring the Representation of Variables View. To save your filter configuration, see Saving Filter Configurations.

1. Add Elements

To add elements to the experiment, the following Functions are available:

	Adds a new layer to the experiment.
	Opens a selection with which you can add new measure/calibration windows to the experiment.

2. Delete Filters

Use this button to delete all selected filters.

3. Variable Filters

To filter the list of variables by variable type, the toolbar provides the following functions:

Selection Status

Filters in the Selection Status group filter the list of variables with respect to the selection status.

	All variables neither added to an experiment nor selected in the current variable list are displayed.
	All variables added to an experiment are displayed.
	All variables selected in the current variable list are displayed.

Class

Filters in the Class group filter the list of variables with respect to the class to which the variables belong.

	Use this filter to view only the configuration variables. These variables can be changed.
	Use this filter to view only the measured-value variables. These variables can be measured, but cannot be changed.
	Use this filter to view only the variables of the adaptive parametersclass.
	Use this filter to view only the slewing variables.

Type

Filters in the Type group filter the list of variables with respect to the class to which the variables belong.

	Use this filter to view the variables of the type scalar.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type Boolean.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type vector.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type matrix.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type curve.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type map.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type axis.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type ASCII.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type curve axis.
	Use this filter to view the variables of type multidimensional map.
	Use this filter to view the variables of type Blob (binary large object).

Virtual

Filters in the Virtual group filter the list of variables with respect to real variables and virtual variables.

	Use this filter to view only non-virtual variables, i.e. these variables exist in the control unit and are not simulated by the system.
	Use this filter to view only the virtual variables. Virtual variables are simulated by the system.

Inactive

The filter in the Inactive group filters the list of inactive variables, which are grayed out and marked with the following overlay icon.

Use this filter to view only inactive variables, see Variable Status in INCA..

No-match

The filter in the no-match group filters the list of no-match variables, which are grayed out and marked with the following overlay icon.

Use this filter to view only no-match variables, see Variable Status in INCA.

4. Display Window Type

To filter the experiment structure by measure/calibration windows, the toolbar provides the following filters of the Display Window Type group:

	Use this filter to view Measure Windows.
	Use this filter to view Measure Tables.
	Use this filter to view Calibration Windows.
	Use this filter to view Scalar Table Editors.
	Use this filter to view Combined Editors.
	Use this filter to view Calibration Scenario Editors.
	Use this filter to view YT-Oscilloscopes.
	Use this filter to view XY-Oscilloscopes.
	Use this filter to view Delta Bar Charts.
	Use this filter to view Signal Distribution Charts.
	Use this filter to view Sortable Lists.
	Use this filter to view Absolute Value Bar Charts.

5. Information window

Use the information window to show more detailed information on a variable you have just selected.

The meta-information can be shown at the right side or bottom section of the variable pane. If this information is no longer required, it can be hidden again through the information window.

6. Settings for Variable Selection

Use this button to open the window in which you can set the defaults for variable selection.

7. Help for variable selection dialog box

Use this button to activate the help for the Variable Selection Dialog.

2 Display Configuration Pane

The experiment is displayed in the following experiment structure in the Display Configuration pane:

Experiment >> Layer >> Measure/Calibration Window >> Variable

3 Variable Search

Variable Search

With the Variable Search in the tabs Display Configuration and Variables Configuration, you can search the experiment structure for variables in the Display Configuration or Variables Configuration tab by entering the name of the variable or using the wildcard function. This type of search is an advantage if the exact name of the variable is unknown or if a number of variables with similar attributes are searched for.

Note
Searching for variables by using wildcard symbols (* for strings, ? for a single character) lists variables corresponding to the query.

4 Experiment Pane

The properties of the elements contained in the experiment can be displayed and edited in the Experiment pane.

An experiment may contain the following elements:

Layers
Measure/calibration instruments
Variables

When you select an element (experiment, layer, instrument or variable) in the tree view in the Display Configuration pane, then the properties of the corresponding element and the subordinate elements of the next level are shown. If you select more than one item in the tree view, then only those properties are shown in the tabular view that are defined for all of the selected elements.

5 Information Pane

Help text and error messages for the selected property are displayed in the Information Pane.

Note
An error message may occur if a maximum limit is less than the minimum limit. The error message then displays that the maximum limit must be greater than the minimum limit.
