Graphical User Interface

OpenView™ is a Graphical User Interface system as well as an integrated high performance real-time database platform. It is intended to serve as a homogeneous and efficient development environment for producing high performance, and demanding real-time and process control applications such as SCADA. OpenView serves as the User Interface for all OSI SCADA, Distribution Management, Energy Management, and Generation Management applications. OpenView supports a distributed and client/server architecture with data residing on a number of host servers and it runs on a number of different platforms under various Unix and Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. Salient features of the OpenView Graphical User Interface include:

• Native support for Microsoft® Windows® • Native support for X/Motif on Unix platforms • World Coordinate System (WCS) support as well as support for page-based displays • Support for Panning, Zooming, Layers, and Decluttering • Support for Zoom Area and user-defined pages and navigation window • Support for multiple viewports and Overlays • Highly Interactive CAD Editor for display building and maintenance • Support for DXF import and export • User-definable incremental panning and zooming • Support for different size viewports • Support for screen image capture or printing • Support for operator e-mail • Extensive symbol library with standard and user- defined symbols and icons • Support for projection mapboard view and remote control • Support for imbedded graphs and bar charts • Designation of Action Objects for program execution The Display Editor is an interactive graphics editor used for building screens, displays, menus, and other attributes of the User Interface. It is based on an object- oriented design that can easily accommodate a host of graphics and dynamic objects. The Editor has been fashioned after popular and friendly CAD programs to allow ease of use and maximum capability. Dynamic field attributes include value, color, tag, and shape.

The Display Editor is an interactive graphics editor used for building screens, displays, menus, and other attributes of the User Interface. It is based on an object- oriented design that can easily accommodate a host of graphics and dynamic objects. The Editor has been fashioned after popular and friendly CAD programs to allow ease of use and maximum capability. Dynamic field attributes include value, color, tag, and shape. Tabular displays created and added to the system are automatically entered into an alphabetized display list that can be called up using dynamic pull-down menus. In addition, displays can be called up via entry of an alphanumeric name or number, as well as from any Action Object linked to the particular display. For process control and real-time applications, each display can be assigned a periodic refresh rate so that dynamically changing data can be periodically refreshed. Tabular displays are supported in an interactive manner via linkages to the database fields, and without programming for database access. Tabular displays can comprise of composites of text objects, database objects and calculation objects. They are built one page at a time using the Interactive Editor and can be assigned as scrollable or non-scrollable (multi-page) displays. For list-oriented displays (tabular lists of database objects), it is only necessary to link the first entry in the list; subsequent records will be linked automatically. OpenView is an intuitive and elegant, high-performance User Interface system for large-scale SCADA and applications development providing an open and common view for all of your system data.
