Detailed description of solution
InteliVision 5 allows showing/hiding whole screens in virtue of a result of an input evaluation.

From version GenConfig 3.0 it is possible to assign up to four Masks to every metering screen and
even to every instrument on a screen. In virtue of evaluation of used Masks is hide/show given
screen/instrument. It means up to four events can show/hide given component.

The solution of change one screen to different one uses above introduced Masks.

Below you can find the procedure how to do it. The order of steps is not decisive.

Create the new Synchro screen

- Go “Screen structure” & select Synchro screen
- Press on a right button of a mouse and choose “Copy screen”

The new Synchro screen is being added now behind old one

- Change the position of the screen by drugging the screen to the second position in the list
(behind Main screen)
- Insert the name of screen (Synchro auto or leave in name Synchro 2) in Screen properties
section (at bottom right of SE)
- Check “User Mask 1” & “User Mask 2”

It ensures that Synchro Auto screen becomes visible when “ForwardSynchro” or “ReverseSynchro” is
active.
Configuration of Main screen
There is used PLC program to define a condition when Main screen should become invisible. Main
screen should be invisible when “ForwardSynchro” or “ReverseSynchro” is active.

- Go to PLC Editor tab in GC and set simple PLC program there (see picture below)
- Select “OR” PLC block in Logical functions section (the left side of PLC Editor) and drug&drop it
on the Sheet screen
- Double click on “OR” block and the new setup screen appears
- Set the inputs - “ForwardSynchro” and “ReverseSynchro”
- Check the inverted output option
- Press OK
Go to Main Screen and check “User mask 3”

Set the Masks for showing/hiding of screens”

- Go to LBI tab in GC, scroll list to bottom
- Set “User Mask 1” to “ForwardSynchro” (Log Bout Source) and “User Mask 2” to
“ReverseSynchro” (Log Bout Source)
- Set “User Mask 3” to “PLC-BOUT 1.1” (PLC Source – the right side of LBI tab.)
- Set the all “Negation” options to “NO”.
When Main screen becomes invisible, the screen behind Main screen is displayed.

Now configuration is set and it is possible to upload it to a controller.

Other comments
NTC
The example is ready to use in the set InteliGen BaseBox controller and InteliVision 5.

If a user wants to create a new screen, not only to modify existing ones, he can add new screens by
following way:

- Go “Screen structure” & click on “Metering screen”

- Press a right button of a mouse and choose “Add Metering screen”

Now the new Metering screen is being added at the end of all screens (see the picture below).
A user can set in “Screen properties” section:
 Own name of screen
 if the screen is “Default”
 if the screen is “Home screen”

Now there can be inserted required instruments from the “instrument pallet MENU”.

The order of screens is possible to change. Just drug the screen required to be moved and drop it in
the required place.
