The Real-Time Display shows you the status of all machines at a glance, including machines that are running out of specification limits, machines that are down, and operators who have called for help. Data on the display is updated automatically and in real-time.

Several displays ship with your system and users can easily create their own displays using the Real-Time Display Writer.
