Process Value Table
The Process Value Table gives an overview of all available values of the various mapped channels for the Dashboard.
When scrolling in the table with the mouse wheel or the scroll bar at the right edge, a window opens with the following query:
"Use mouse pointer movement in chart to scroll the table?"
If the answer to this query is "Yes", the table automatically displays the values that were hovered over in the chart. This also works the other way around, so that in the chart a guide line shows the row of the table in which the mouse pointer is located
Clicking with the left mouse button closes this function.
It is possible to set a marker in the chart for individual values. Left-clicking on a table row activates the marker for this value. Using the slider in the Process Value Table, it is possible to jump from one marker to another.
