Watch Area with prepopulated tags

Hi,

I want to create a button in DeltaV Live that opens a watch area with pre-defined tags that would already be in the watch area when opened, rather than having a blank watch area that I need to drag tags into. How can this be done?

  • By watch area do you mean using Watchit? If this was DeltaV Operate you could execute a shell command using VBA. I have not specifically tried with TypeScript on DeltaV Live to execute a shell command, but suspect that you would be able to.

    The syntax is below. /x and /y are the positions the window shows up on the screen.
    start Watchit.exe YOURTAG /x1626 /y6
