For quick picture call up, it is recommended that you use Reserved Pictures. You can reserve up to three pictures. The picture data is fresh and always available to the operator.
To reserve pictures:
Open DeltaV Operate in Configure Mode.
In the Pictures/Standard folder, open User_Ref.grf and follow the directions to save the picture as UserSettings.grf.
Right-click in UserSettings.grf, select Edit Script, go to the section called "Reserved Picture Initialization," and then follow the directions to reserve your pictures.
Every picture listed in the Reserved Pictures list is open (but not visible) in DeltaV Operate run mode. The picture is resident on the machine and the datalinks are actively being updated, allowing for faster access to data when the operator opens one of these pictures. It is important to understand that the pictures on the Reserved Pictures list place a burden on the system's resources by keeping those datalinks updated. Therefore, testing is required to validate that the system is behaving as expected (for example, datalinks are updated at the configured scan rate, FreMem is at an acceptable level, and so on).
