Missing color tables from Delta V Operate 11.3 installation

I've noticed the default alarm banner for the widescreen layout, Alarm_ban_1680X1050_XP, contains pointers to a global color table called frsVariables.AlarmBannerText that does not exist.

Am I missing something or is DeltaV?

  • I just checked one of our v11.3.1 systems and that color table is not in frsVariables for our system either.

    DeltaV actually searches several fxg files to find color tables even if you specify a global fxg to look in specifically, it just keeps going until it finds it.  This lets your override a default (frsVariables) color table by coying it into SIGlobals without having to edit all of those references to it.

    The search order is:

    1) SIGlobals

    2) User

    3) frsVariables

    Since the AlarmBannerText color table isn't in any of those and it still works I'm supposing that frsFactoryGlobals is also in the search list and is likely #4 in search order.  frsFactoryGlobals is a locked project that is hidden in the tree so you can't look inside it very easily.
