Workstation Status Driver Tag Addressing

A workstation status driver tag monitors a workstation and allows associated analog input tags to report and display data about the workstation.

In order to access information about the workstation being monitored by a workstation status driver tag, follow these steps:

Create a workstation status driver tag. Set the Workstation Name drop-down list to the name of the workstation you wish to monitor. (You can create one workstation status driver tag for each workstation you wish to monitor.)

Create one analog input tag for each piece of data you wish to obtain from the workstation being monitored. (You can create multiple analog input tags and associate them with a single workstation status driver tag.)

Use the I/O Device field for each analog input tag to associate the analog input with the workstation status driver tag.

Set the Address field of each analog input tag to one of the following text strings:

•    SystemCPU = System CPU – all processes

•    AverageCPU = Running average of total system CPU

•    VTSCPU = CPU used by VTS only

•    IOBPS = I/O bytes per second, including all disk reads/writes, as well as network traffic

•    Handles = Handles in use by VTS

•    Threads = Threads being used by VTS

•    Memory = Real memory used by VTS (in bytes)

•    Virtual Memory = Virtual memory used by VTS (in bytes)

•    GDIObjects = GDI objects used by VTS

•    FreeDiskSpace = Free disk spaces (bytes) for a logical disk (anything that is addressable with a drive letter).
