[MultiMonitors]Context<n>

Allows you to share a single context with one or more screens.

Note: This parameter is only valid for Situational Awareness projects.

Allowable Values:

Any valid context name.

Default:

None

The value assigned to the context is comprised of two parts:

• Node name from the navigation hierarchy

• Name of the screen

For example, Context1 = MyPlant.Area1:Primary. This will display details from Area 1 of MyPlant on the primary screen. If you wish to display the same information on a second monitor, you can add Context2 = MyPlant.Area1:Screen2. Both screens will then display the same content, but are independent of each other. You can also choose different views for each monitor by configuring screens to display different content. For example, Context1=MyPlant.Area1:Screen1, Context2=MyPlant.Area2:Screen2 and Context3=MyPlant.Area3:Screen3. In this case, each screen displays content independently.

When you link contexts, only one object can be selected between the two contexts. Linked contexts can be used to display different content for the same object based on the selection. For example, For example, Context1=MyPlant.Area1:Screen1, Screen2. Here, one screen can be used to display the graphics page with a particular equipment from the specified location while the second one can be used to display the Information Pane. The content in the Information pane will be updated for display as and when the selected equipment's state changes.
