Create a New Niagara SCX Explorer
Connection
Niagara SCX Explorer views allow you to save and view a list of encoder systems. You save time
by recalling a saved view instead of manually connecting to each individual Niagara SCX. Views
act like bookmarks. They do not contain any in-depth information about your managers (such as
the types of encoders you connected).
