Hi All,
I am new to DeltaV and I got shocked with the limitation of the watchit utility. during testing/debugging it is very useful if the engineer has a simple user friendly list that display all parameters that he cares about. with easily add/remove parameters to it.
I asked some of my DeltaV experts colleagues and they confirmed that is the only way available to watch parameters.
So, I have created a watchlist that runs on DeltaV operate and uses frsReadValue/frsWriteValue for the sake of displaying live values. as below
But I am very limited having it as a pop up in DeltaV operate. because you can not have it alongside or in top of control studio window. also, Continuous reads freezes out all DeltaV operate actions.
I can develop a standalone tool using VB dot Net. which interface with OPCDAAutomation Active X interface. but there is no way to get the my client agrees to use non Standard Emerson tool on their systems.
I wonder if Emerson can adopt the idea and create that tool as a part of DeltaV standard utilities.. It is Simple... and I can provide the source code to them free of charge!!
or Someone tell me if there is potential problems/issues for using such tool.
BR,
Mohamed

Hi Matt, please see my reply to Sal above.
In reply to Mohamed Elsaber:
Why only limited to 6 watchits? I have had many more than this and positioned these so you just see the values during testing to see the values changed and I group them logically like SP/MODE.Target of a valve together which I've shown example below
