There are two types of Multiple Monitor Display.
1. Display a single frame on multiple monitors(expansion)

2. Single or Expanded Mode
For Single or Expanded mode, only one monitor is used or multiple monitors are used to create a
single frame monitor. Example of single frame monitor(two monitors) is shown below.
2.1. Configuration
At Single or Expanded mode, position and size of monitor can be defined as shown below.

To define the position and size of monitor, “Full Window” feature must be disabled at CIMON-X
Configuration. Go to [Tools]  [CIMON-X Environment] [Full Window] menu.
2.2. Single or Expanded mode by using a Touch operation
Page size and position is determined at [Page Setup] menu generally. However, Page size and
position can be also set up by using a function “OpenPagePos”. From an example shown below,
Page “Page1” is displayed at position(W=1024,H=0) of monitor.

3. Multiple Monitor Mode
At Multiple Monitor mode, multiple frames are used on multiple monitors. This seems that many
CIMON-X is running on multiple monitors. From the example as given below, multiple frames are
used with two monitors.

3.1. Configuration
With Multiple Mode selected, StartUp Page of each monitor can be determined. For example of
two monitors, one monitor is used as primary. So, the remaining number of monitor is entered
except the primary monitor.
StartUp page of primary monitor can be selected at [CimonX Environment].
Go to [Tools] [CimonX Environment] menu.

3.2. Multiple Monitor by using a Touch operation
Multiple Monitor configuration executes separate frames on different monitors. So, monitor
number must be defined to open/close a page at the desired position. Monitor numbers are
shown below.

If monitor numbers are not defined, operations such as “Page Open/Close/Replace(Transition)”
is executed at the currently active page.
Here is how to set up page operation at the desired monitor.

Open a Page
At Multi-Monitor mode, monitor number must be added after page name.

<Open a Page “Page1.PGX” at Monitor 1 >
If monitor number is not defined, operations such as “PageOpen/Close/Replace(Transition)” is
executed at the currently active page.

Close a Page
<Close a Page “Page1.PGX” at Monitor 1 >


Replace a Page(Transition)
New Page that will be replaced with cannot define a monitor. Therefore, page
transition occurs at the monitor that previous page locates automatically.
<Page Transition from “Page2.PGX” to “Page3.PGX” at monitor 1 >
4. Multiple Monitor feature by using Command Expression and Script
In general, page related Functions operate on a currently active monitor. Accordingly, monitor
number must be defined in Functions so that page operations can be executed at the desired
monitor.

◆ Page Functions For Multiple Monitor
Page Functions
OpenPage("Page Name")
OpenPageEx("Page Name", "Tag Name List")
ClosePage("Page Name")
ReplacePage("Page Name1", "Page Name2")
ReplacePageEx("Current Page Name", "New Page Name", "Tag Name List")
OpenPagePos("Page Name", "X,Y,Width,Height")
General Operation
Multi-Monitor Operation
OpenPage("Page1")
OpenPage("Page1/Multi=1")
OpenPageEx("Page1","AA")
OpenPageEx("Page1/Multi=1","AA")
ClosePage("Page1")
ClosePage("Page1/Multi=1")
ReplacePage("Page1", "Page2")
ReplacePage("Page1/Multi=1", "Page2")
ReplacePageEx("Page1", "Page2", "AA")
ReplacePageEx("Page1/Multi=1", "Page2",
"AA")
OpenPagePos("Page1", "0,0,100,100")
OpenPagePos("Page1/Multi=1",
"0,0,100,100")
※ Page Functions in both Script and Command Expression operate in a similar way except one thing.
Page-Functions in Script must be used with monitor number. This is because Script operates
independently.
※ This manual applies to the CIMON SCADA version of 3.00 or higher.
(Under SCADA ver2.14 or lower, user need to create a file “DesignEi.dat” to set up multi monitor feature.
Please refer to the SCADA Help file for the detailed information)
