I think I could make nicer displays with VB than Factory Talk
I will admit to being not too experienced with creating displays with Factory Talk (while being quite experienced with activation problems ), so if you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
For instance: In VB you can draw on a picture box, using variable values, as a graph, and click ( hover, pass over, paint, or many other events ) on a picture box and use the co-ordinates of the click as inputs for calculations or whatever... Maybe you can do that on a Panelview using Factory Talk ...I don't know... is that possible?
I would like to chart the levels of laser measurements on an XY chart and the operator could touch the chart and move a pass/fail line up and down right on the chart... I'm sure it could be done with buttons and stuff, but I think coolness counts... both to the operator and the programmer... maybe more to the programmer
I know you can trend. Can you click on the trend window and use the co-ordinates of the click as inputs to tags?
thank you
