COURSE DESCRIPTION
The InTouch for System Platform course is a 4-day, instructor-led class designed to provide a fundamental understanding of how InTouch provides visualization to plant Galaxy data using ArchestrA symbols within the Wonderware Application Server software. The focus of this course is to illustrate the use of visualization tools in Wonderware Application Server to provide a Human Machine Interface (HMI) with connectivity to the Galaxy, graphic symbols, animations, and scripting features and functionality in InTouch WindowMaker, ArchestrA symbols, the ArchestrA Symbol Editor, and QuickScript .NET. The course provides lectures and hands-on labs to provide a fundamental understanding of and reinforce how to design graphics and windows, apply alarm, trending, and history controls for visualization; and secure an InTouch application.
