GENESIS32™ comes with the software component Screen Manager, which is used to help orchestrate your project during runtime. Manage and position multiple GraphWorX™32 displays on single or even double monitor displays!

Multi-Monitor Displays

The Screen Manager is a utility for managing the layout of the displays used for the operator interface. It supports configuration not only for a single computer monitor, but also for a multiple-monitor system, allowing definitions of various layouts to fill the screen(s).

Set up multiple panes on multiple monitors with Screen Manager

The Screen Manager is a floating tool is used to create templates for screen layouts. You can Manage different screen designs, controlling multiple video monitors, on a per user basis! During runtime use it to switch among different layouts, and you can dock the toolbar and even have it "auto-hide" for maximum real estate usage.

In addition to manipulating your HMI Screens created in GraphWorX™32, Screen Manager can also place 3rd Party applications and documents on the screen as well, such as placement of a CAD drawing, or Word document. Automatically launch a 3rd Party application in one quadrant, with a Live Trend window in another, and HMI and alarms occupying the remaining sections.

Creating Layouts

The Screen Manager organises displays via a layout. The layout specifies a number of panels set in a position. You can choose from the layouts shipped with the product, or custom create your own designs, creating screen splits wherever your project demands. Each panel has the option of being split horizontally or vertically, and then dragged into position for the layout.
