Which cases disable buttons?
If
WinTr first opened with empty project all buttons become active. If it opens with existing project New, Open, Login and
Runtime buttons become active.Reason of this prevent the project from the unauthorized modifications.To activate the other buttons “Administrator” user must login which is authorize level 10. Unauthorized users can also start
runtime, create new project or open existing project.
File Menu
New: It is used for create a new project. When click on the new button, program clears all data on itself and creates a new empty project. You cannot do any operation on this unsaved project you must save it by clicking “Save as” first.
Open: It is used for opening the saved projects. Program will start the project which was open when program shutdown. If shutdown opration performed at the
runtime state program will open at
runtime state.
Save: It saves the project. It closes all open windows and compiles datas on them for the saving operation. If datas incorrect save operation isn’t performed and a message generated which indicates that error must be corrected.
Save As: It allows saving project with a different name. This is the most important operation at the menu. At this operation first SQL database is created.
Scada project uses
SQL Server 2005 for many
operations. First step of the project is creating a database. Many project with the same name can be created at different folders. But a databases with the same name can not be created. If Save As button detects a database with the same name it produces a different name for the database. You can see this name at the
Control Panel. Another function is cleaning the unused files for newly saved project. You create many file while you working on your
scada project. When you discard the using objects this files isn’t erased. But at the save as operation this files is detected and isn’t moved to new project. Thus projects size at the hard disk is reduced. This does not make program faster.
