Site Legend (VTScada)
The Site Legend graphic enables you to place a legend on your application's Overview page to assist users in determining what the colors of the site symbols mean.
The Site Legend can be accessed via the Site Tools Library. To do so:
1. Click the Configure button to open the Configuration Toolbox.
2. Click the Libraries button to open the Configure dialog.
3. Expand the Drawing Tools menu item.
4. Expand the Site Tools Library menu item.
5. Right-click on the Site Legend menu item.
6. Click the Draw button place a site legend on the screen. The Site Legend editor will open. (There are no user-configurable options in this dialog.)
As you can see in the above image, the Legend has no configurable parameters; therefore, you need only click the OK button to finish drawing the legend on the currently open page. An example of the Site Legend follows:
Note: VTScada makes it easy for you to change the display colors used in the Legend and for site symbols on the Overview page. The Config.ini variables responsible for the colors used in the legend and for site symbols can be found in "VTS Programmer’s Guide: 13: Configuration Files and Variables: Config.ini [SYSTEM] Section Variables for Colors" (please refer to the AlarmColor, ActiveCommColor, CommFailColor, FastPollCommColor, InactiveCommColor, InvalidColor, NormalColor, and PollDisabledColor variables).
