Wallboard Display Features 5
When you define a Wallboard Display, you select the type of data and the
data items to display. The Wallboard Display shows default labels for the
items that you choose and the current value of the item. You can change the
labels in the Wallboard Wizard.
Items are displayed on a Wallboard Display in the order in which you select
them.
A Wallboard Display on your monitor shows the data that you will see
on an external wallboard. You can have more than one Wallboard
Display open on your PC at the same time, and you can send a
wallboard displayed on your monitor to several external wallboards or
send different displays to different wallboards.
You can change the size of a report window that contains a Wallboard
Display. BCMS Vu changes the size of the display text, not the number of
characters displayed or the proportion of empty space.
When an item on a wallboard display on your monitor exceeds a
threshold, the item name and value are displayed in yellow (caution) or
red (warning). If you send the display to an external wallboard, the
colors also appear, provided the external wallboard supports these
colors.
You can specify how long (from one second to one hour) the lines of a
multiple-line display remain on a wallboard before the next line or lines
appear.
You can have as many as 35 characters per line in a display on your
monitor. Remember, however, that the maximum number of characters
that fit on a line on an external wallboard is limited by the wallboard
itself. Refer to the table in the following section.
