This section is intended for systems integrators and developers who want to achieve maximum performance from the DeltaV Operate system. The section offers tips and strategies you can use while developing pictures, writing scripts, and implementing schedules.
The inclusion of Visual Basic for Applications in DeltaV Operate presents you with a powerful scripting tool that allows you to quickly and easily automate operator tasks and create automation solutions. By providing you with an open graphical environment, DeltaV Operate enables you to incorporate internet controls (OCXs), reuse elements from other sources (such as bitmaps), or embed other OLE automation applications into your pictures.
