Synoptic boards

In the WinCN program the synoptic boards are one of the possibilities of observation of the site’s status. The boards enable presentation of the site’s signals  with the division into elements (power systems, air-conditioners, batteries, etc.); they are presented in the shape of points. Icon of the point determines status of the signal, and the label enables displaying name, value and unit. It facilitates actual presentation of the site’s structure and hiding system division into particular controllers. A few synoptic boards can be declared for the site. For example each floor of the building may be presented in a separate board and the construction project may act as the background. Selecting “Synoptic board” in the context menu in the list of sites will result in displaying the board of the site.

If no board is associated to the site, the command asking whether to create a new board for this site will be displayed. Acceptation will result in displaying of the site’s configuration window.
If the board was already entered, the window enabling to view present status of all signals of the particular site will be displayed. Activation of the 'edition mode' enables to configurate the signals shown in the board. There is a possibility of modification of displayed label and situation of the signal’s icon in the board.

In the top part of the window there is a toolbar which enables to adapt the board appropriately:

- zooming in the synoptic board

- zooming out the synoptic board

- dragging the synoptic board

- refreshing the board – updating the signals

- criteria – enables filtering the sites depending on their status (i.e. hide sites without alarm)

- switches edition mode of the board on / off
 

Near each label of the signal there is an icon presenting current status of the signal.

Each signal (point) can be deleted out of the synoptic board, by using the "Delete point" command. This command does not cause deleting neither the element nor the signal out of configuration of the site; only graphic presentation is removed out of the synoptic board’s view. After this operation it is possible to add the point representing particular signal again.

Clicking right to the label with the signal we have mice available functions:

At adding the new point up we have to choose from:
