TrendWorX Viewer ActiveX
Global Aliasing Support
The TrendWorX Viewer supports Global Aliasing by interfacing to the Global Aliasing Server. The
following strings can be aliased:
‰ Viewer Title
o Title
‰ Ranges
o Hi Tag, Lo Tag, Format, Format XY
‰ Details
o Format
‰ Pen
o Point Name, Hi Tag, Low Tag, Description, Units, Details Format, Ranges Format, Persistent
Group Name
‰ URL Path
o Configured in the General tab of the TrendWorX Viewer ActiveX Properties dialog box.
‰ Expressions
o In the Expression Editor, click the Tags button and select Global Aliases from the pop-up menu
to open the Global Alias Browser.
Currently the TrendWorX Viewer supports machine-level and process-level aliasing. All fields, which
support aliasing, have been interfaced to the Global Alias Browser dialog, which is evoked by
clicking on the … button.
In addition, the TrendWorX Viewer has integrated Language Aliasing and Global Aliasing browsers.
The user first connects a real time, persistent, or historical tag and then has the option to alias the
entire pen string or part of it. Global aliasing is also supported also for drag-and-drop operations as
well as related OLE automation methods.
‰ What is NOT supported:
o Runtime editing of aliased fields
o Aliases resulting in new global aliases (ie a resolved alias is also an alias)
o Local settings saving if Global Aliases are used.
