| When Citect displays fields using the tab
format the distance between each tab column is calculated depending
on the average width of the characters. This is done to get the
best looking tab format for most alarms. If Citect calculated the
tab column width on the maximum width then most of the time the
columns would be unnecessarily wide. So Citect calculated the
average character width and then multiplies that number by a tab
factor of 70/100. This gives a tab width of 70% of the maximum
character width which is correct for normal alarms. If your alarms
contain all capital letters or lots of wide characters this may not
be wide enough. You may increase the tab factor by adjusting the
parameter [Animator]TabFactor, where the default is 70, and range
10 to 100. |
