Customising online variable list
Hi,
I'm currently trying to create a screen which will give me a list of all variables and their current values. My intention would be to create a screen showing all analog inputs on one screen and antoher screen showing all digital inputs (i.e. binary input as well as legacy double bit binary inputs).
This screen should be a scrollable list showing the variable name, identification, value and timestamp, as well as the offset.
I have tried to create a screen using the 'variable diagnosis' screen type which is launched using the screen switch function, however the customisation available here is limited:
1) I cannot select the column 'offset' in here (required as I'm using DNP3 driver and so want to see the relevant DNP3 address next to the point). The column selection window in the variable diagnosis window is restricted to a subset of the full variable columns.
2) The variable diagnosis screen requires that you manually select and then add which variables are inlcuded in the list.. I would prefer to include ALL variables which fit the filter of *binary input* for example. With the present configuration, if I add new variables in future it will be required that I go back in to the variable diagnosis configuration and remember to add the new vars... not ideal for future modifications.
Therefore is it possible to further customise the variable diagnosis window, or alternatively is is possible to roll my own window to achieve what I want with vba? If so I'm not really sure where to get started.
Many thanks,
Dave
