Any body use this yet? I know it's new but some of you are fast :) Another ? In reading the overview of the product it says over 300,000 licenses have been issued since 1997?? Have I been over looking this?:confused:

This product is made exclusively for ADC with a scaled driver offering from a well known supplier in SCADA HMI software.
However, this is a brand new offering from ADC that launched on 11/20/2013.

Ok I down loaded the Demo software and manuals. First off how do you name an object like a push button?
Second are there any other manuals that dig a little deeper?

A great way to start is by reading the software reference guide and then go to chapter 4 tutorial on building a simple project.
Other than that, we have application notes:

Or reference any of the objects help, you can do this by putting a pushbutton object onto the screen, the click on the ? next to the stop button, then click on the object itself or just press F1 to bring up the software help file at anytime.
There are no other manuals other than the ADC driver manual & software reference manual. The software help file is the best resource for details on any feature or object in Point of View.

Well I 've read all 77 pages of the manual and see no way to assign a name to an object such as a push button or the tank in the demo.
How do we keep up with a couple hundred objects in a project? :confused:

In Point of View you assign a tag to an object, this is done thru tag integration or using main driver sheets for a specific communications driver. Once create a tag name, this then can be applied to an object such as your push button. Then you are able to cross reference that tag name that is associated to an object(s).
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. Are you wanting to make a label plate for a pushbutton? If so you will need to manually add a pushbutton along with some text, then group this together. Then you will be able to create a linked symbol that can be reused in your project. Please refer to the software help file> search for linked symbol> go to topic " saving your own project symbols ".
If needed contact our technical support team for any additional help. They will be able to answer any of your questions concerning the product.
