Server Browser
The Show Server User Interface button appears on the Server
Browserdialog box only when you invoke the Server Browser from
theEngine Manager.
If your application does not shut down within a few seconds after you
closethe BridgeVIEW Engine Manager, BridgeVIEW displays a dialog
box notifying you to shut down your HMI application. You can ensure
yourapplication shuts down when the Engine shuts down by monitoring
the shutdown output of any Tags or Alarms VI or the Engine Status VI
inyourdiagram. This technique is explained in Chapter4, Human
Machine Interface.
What Are System Errors and Events?
System errors are conditions on a system level (as opposed to a per tag
basis) that result in problematic functioning of the BridgeVIEW system.
When a system error occurs, BridgeVIEW prompts the user with a dialog
box. You can turn this dialog box on or off.
System events are changes in the system that cause a change in behavior
thatis not problematic. These include events reported by utilities such as
the Tag Configuration Editor.
