* Display Builder Display Builder is a specialized drawing application that enables you to create custom displays for Station. Custom displays work in the same way as the standard displays supplied with Enterprise Buildings Integrator. However, custom displays allow you to present information in a more sophisticated and “user friendly” manner. As a consequence, custom displays make it easier for operators to visualize processes, and reduce the probability of operator errors. To start Display Builder from the Start menu, choose Start Programs Enterprise Buildings Integrator Display Builder. When Display Builder starts, you see what at first appears to be a standard drawing application, with several toolbars and a blank drawing. At its simplest level, this is true because you draw display objects, such as rectangles and pushbuttons, in much the same way as you do in a standard drawing application. The big difference, however, is that you can “animate” display objects in a number of ways. For example, you can link an alphanumeric display object to a point in the server database, so that it displays the point’s value. You can also make a display interactive by adding controls such as pushbuttons and checkboxes.
