Clear Visual Configuration

Control room visuals need occasional refinement as layouts evolve, screens change, or display standards are updated. Configuration Editor provides a controlled way to make those visual adjustments without rebuilding displays or modifying underlying systems.

Configuration Editor is used to fine-tune presentation elements such as line styles, colors, symbol appearance, and visual emphasis. It does not change data sources, system logic, or operational workflows. Those functions remain within Primate’s core platform and display design tools.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is a configuration editor in control room software?

A configuration editor lets operators adjust how visual displays appear without coding or downtime. It supports real-time updates to layouts and visual elements so screens stay aligned with changing system conditions.

Can the Configuration Editor update displays while the system is running?

Yes. Primate’s Configuration Editor supports live visual adjustments, allowing teams to refine layouts and visual components while operations continue. This avoids interruptions and keeps displays accurate during equipment changes or evolving data streams.

How does Primate Technologies help when new data sources are added?

When new operational data comes online, Primate’s Configuration Editor lets operators adapt display elements quickly. They can reorganize visuals, refine how information is presented, and keep screens up to date without relying on development cycles.

Does Primate keep video wall and desktop displays consistent?

It does. Any visual adjustments made in the Configuration Editor propagate across connected displays, ensuring video walls, workstations, and remote screens all show the same updated layout in real time.

Can operators customize visual elements without modifying system logic?

Yes. Primate’s Configuration Editor focuses on presentation, not system logic. Operators can refine symbols, adjust visual formatting, and reorganize display components while leaving underlying SCADA, EMS, or OMS logic untouched.
