Panel Brackets

A convenient way to create non-standard brackets is to generate them as small panels, so called panel brackets. They can be generated using all the features and all the flexibility available for generation of panels. This means that they will normally adapt to changes in the surrounding.

AVEVA Marine offers two ways of generating panel brackets:

• They may be generated separately as panels first and then connected to the panel they should belong to afterwards.

• More "standardized" types of non-standard brackets can be generated via a Vitesse trigger that has to be developed and maintained by the customer. The name of the trigger is _TBhookCustBracket. Its interface is described in the Vitesse User Guide. A simple version of this trigger is delivered along with the system to be extended by the customer. Generation of panel brackets via this hook resembles generation of type standard brackets, that means, is integrated with the generation of the panel it belongs to in a similar way.

The connection of pre-generated panel brackets and activation of the Vitesse trigger are both activated by the interactive bracket generation function as an alternative to generating type standard brackets. The bracket will in both cases be connected to the main panels via a bracket statement in a special layout.
