37.6.1 Screen Mode

In screen mode, there are two methods of displaying GP-Viewer EX: Synchronous Mode and Asynchronous Mode. Synchronous mode shows the same screen data as the display unit. Asynchronous Mode shows screen data independent of screen changes on the display unit. The screen mode, the security level on the display unit, and the GP-Viewer EX login security level affect GP-Viewer EX operations. The following describes how the relationship between the screen mode and security level affects operations.

Screen mode

 

Synchronous Mode

GP-Viewer EX displays the same screen as the display unit.

Asynchronous Mode

GP-Viewer EX can display a different screen than the display unit. Screen changes on the display unit do not affect the GP-Viewer EX screen.
