Printing graphic displays at run time.
A graphic display represents a run-time operator’s view of plant activity.
A graphic display can show system or process data, and provide an operator
with ways to write values to external devices such as programmable
controllers. To create a visual record of tag values, the operator can print the
display at run time.
A graphic display can contain up to a total of 3000 connections, whether they
originate from the expressions or the tags.

Each expression associated with an object is counted as one connection
regardless of the number of tags in the expression.

Each animation of an object (except the Touch animation) is counted
as one connection.

Each connection in the Connections property of an object that is linked
to a tag is counted as one connection.
