Queues are the main data structure used in CitectSCADA, and this allows the various queues active on the system to be displayed. To view the different queues, press the page up and page down keys.
On each page, the handle of the queue being viewed, its name, and its length is displayed. The number of queues and entries within these depends entirely on the custom configuration of Citect32 and the individual project.
Queue formats can vary but several common formats exist.
Example
Queue Sleep
