Customizing DeltaV Overview Display Selection

Brian Church, of REM Services, dug around compiling how-to's for having a different overview screen for each DeltaV Operator station.

Turns out it's version specific -

In versions 7.x and before, you need VB code in the user settings file similar to this:

if frsVariables.gs_wsName.currentvalue = "WS1" then
frsVariables.gs_overview_main.currentvalue = "OVW1"
else
if frsVariables.gs_wsName.currentvalue = "WS2" then
frsVariables.gs_overview_main.currentvalue = "OVW2"
else
frsVariables.gs_overview_main.currentvalue = "OVW3"
end if
end if


In versions 8.x and above, you can have different user settings files for each workstation, so all that VB code is unnecessary.

Thanks, Brian!
