About SmartVU SmartVU for Windows is a Map user interface for Windows. SmartVU runs
on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and operates as a client to
the SCADA host computer.
The SmartVU program uses a local copy of the Map (stored on the PCs
hard drive), on which it overlays dynamic analog and status data that is
retrieved from the host computer. Operator actions, such as control and
alarm acknowledgment, are forwarded to the host computer for execution.

SMARTVU TRAINING GUIDE SMARTVU 1.0
In this section Color style tables are arrays of drawing styles used to dynamically color code
things in the map. Color style tables are used by pmacros, line sections, and
segments, to dynamically color their graphical elements according to values
contained in the SCADA database.
This section describes how to create the different color style tables that you will
need to create your single-line map.
Exercise Number
Creating a color style table for points with acknowledged alarms 6
Creating a color style table for points with unacknowledged alarms 7
Creating a color style table for a station pmacro acknowledged 8
Creating a color style table for a station pmacro unacknowledged 9

10
acknowledged
Creating a color style table for an analog value pmacro
11
unacknowledged
Creating a color style table for button labels 12
Creating a color style table for all white buttons 13
Objectives At the end of this section you should be able to add colors style tables to your
library.
Dynamically colored A status pmacro uses a color style table to re-color its dynamically colored
symbols symbols according to the current state of a status point (e.g. color the symbol
green if the point is open, color the symbol red if the point is closed), while a
station pmacro uses a drawing style table to re-color its symbols according to
the highest-priority unacknowledged or outstanding alarm on any point in the
station.
Only the portions of the symbols that are drawn in the {dynamic} color style are
re-colored in this manner.
Non dynamic colored The portions of the symbols that are not drawn in {dynamic} retain the colors in
symbols which they were drawn. In the case of the analog value pmacro, a color style
table is used to color the analog point value to reflect the current limit state of
the point (e.g. color the point green if its in its normal range, red if it violates its
emergency alarm limit, etc.).
Color styles for You can specify two different color style tables for each Pmacro: one to be used
pmacro states when there are no unacknowledged alarms on the point or station, and another
to be used when there are unacknowledged alarms on the point, or station.
Typically, the colors in the unacknowledged table would differ from those of the
acknowledged table only by the addition of black in the cyclic colors list to cause
the point to blink whenever it has unacknowledged alarms.
Although the database already contains perfectly good drawing style tables,
were going to create brand new ones for our sample map.
Exercise 6 Creating The following procedure describes how to create a color style table when there
a color style table for are no unacknowledged alarms on a status point. For this color table use green

pmacros Pmacro, all the instances on the map where that Pmacro is used will change
simultaneously. If you further override the parameters of the Pmacro after you
add it on the map, the changes will apply only on that particular Pmacro
instance.
You can change the default values in the following manner: double click the
resource name. It will lead us to new dialog window, where we need to type-in
