 Item Item Tree

The Item Tree displays all available Server Items of the current system. It displays these only if the NETx BMS Core Server is running either in online or simulation mode.
The values of the items are shown in the respective column and are continuously updated.
Server Items can be directly accessed. A right click to one will bring the context menu to display. The following three menu entries are available for all items:

• Show history in Graph – This brings up the "add" dialog for the graph (cf. Section 3.3.10).
• Copy Item path to clipboard – The full Server Item path will be copied to the clipboard.
• Show Properties – This shows the properties of the Server Item. If the "Properties" area is disabled it will be brought up again.

The LUA Editor offers a lot more functionality than the one for the definition files. Next to syntax highlighting, row counting and printing it also provides a search and replace dialog. The LUA script engine can be reinitialized at any
time while the NETx BMS Core Server is running.
