Select an element you want to use as the open command, and in <em>Properties,<\/em> select <em>Commands<\/em> and click on the <em>Open<\/em> command.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/myscada.org\/downloads\/manuals_image\/img_21.1.1.jpg\" alt=\"21.1.1\" width=\"450\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will be presented with the Open Dialog.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/myscada.org\/downloads\/manuals_image\/img_21.1.2.png\" alt=\"21.1.2\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the Open command, use <em>Parametric View<\/em> and select your parametric view.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0084c8;\">Parameters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To use symbolic addresses in your parametric view, you should specify parameters in the <strong>Parameters<\/strong> options. To do so, click on the \u201c<strong>\u2026<\/strong>\u201d button next to the Parameters field. You will be presented with a Parameters selection dialog:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/myscada.org\/downloads\/manuals_image\/img_21.1.3.png\" alt=\"21.1.3\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you can see in the dialog, you can specify multiple parameters. Each parameter can be of the following types:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">String<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Value<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tag (PLC address)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Equation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you set a Tag inside a parameter, mySCADA will pass the tag value as a parameter during the open command. In addition, when you specify an equation, mySCADA will evaluate the equation and pass the value as a parameter.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0084c8;\">Connections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also specify a connection during the opening command. Imagine you have multiple production lines, each controlled by one PLC. You can create one parametric window for one production line; then, when opening your parametric view, you can pass the connection to the given production line. This way you are able to have one view for all lines by simply passing the connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To set the connection during the opening command, please specify it by clicking on the \u201c<strong>\u2026<\/strong>\u201d button next to Connections.
