WinPM.Net: Vista
Vista is a display, analysis, and control application. It is the main user interface to 
the WinPM.Net system. Vista presents a graphical view of your power system, 
allowing you to view real-time data from power meters or historical data from the 
WinPM.Net database. It simplifies the tasks of managing your power system and 
transcends a number of physical device boundaries, so you can retrieve, store, and 
display data from any device in your system through a unified interface. Vista 
reports on the status of your power system components, informing you of alarm 
conditions and providing you with control capabilities for initiating intelligent 
device functions or actuating field machinery.
Displaying Data with Vista
A standard set of Vista User Diagrams display real-time and logged data for 
various power system parameters. Interactive objects are provided on the 
diagrams that allow operators with appropriate authority to enable and disable 
logging functions and reset cumulative parameters.
A network diagram uses links to default user diagrams to display data from each 
device in your system. When you generate a network diagram, Vista automatically 
locates all devices in your system and displays them.
