Function
With the Signal tree object, signals can be dragged and dropped into a trend graph or another ibaQPanel object just like from a normal ibaPDA or ibaHD signal tree, if ibaQPanel is displayed in full screen mode and the normal ibaPDA and ibaHD signal tree is not visible and can also not be accessed from full screen mode due to the limited access rights.
Configuration
You can select which source the signals come from and which signal types are displayed. Several signal sources and signal types can be selected respectively.
Signal sources
-
ibaPDA: the ibaPDA signal tree from the currently connected ibaPDA server will be shown
-
ibaHD: the ibaHD signal tree from the currently connected ibaHD-Server will be shown
Signal types
-
Analog
-
Digital
-
Camera
-
Vector
-
Text / Event (events are also text signals)
-
Event / Event fields: The events and also the variable analog, digital or text signals inside an event message will be shown.
-
Time periods: Configured time periods will be shown
Display style
The display style determines how the signals are grouped in the signal tree.
-
Groups: Signals are grouped by group.
-
Modules: Signals are grouped by module.
-
Signals: Signals are not grouped.
You can set the font and size in the signal tree.

With the Groups option a plant specific view can be achieved. The groups must be defined in the I/O Manager of ibaPDA. |
Signal selection
The signal selection allows you to determine which signals should be available in the signal tree. By default, all signals are available. If you want to limit the available signals then select “Show only selected signals” and make your selection by using the checkboxes in the signal tree.
Search
The search function allows the user to find certain signals. This function is similar to the normal ibaPDA signal tree. There are some differences in the details. It is possible to search also in groups if the group display style is selected. Another difference is that the module name can be made visible in a column.
The display of the signal tree can be modified via the context menu.
With a right mouse click in a free area of the signal tree, the commands for expanding and collapsing the tree can be selected. Expand all/Collapse all
