Recall Display Registry Settings

This list shows all of the active, published, non-debug settings that Recall Display loads from the registry. Many of them are not intended for customer modification. Those that are designed to allow customers to adjust various ReDisp behaviors are marked with an asterisk (*). There are other values that ReDisp may read from this same registry section, but they are either specific to particular customers and/or to the developers.

If you see (in your registry) any PICS Recall Display entries not listed here, feel free to delete them (from your registry) as they are either unused or not production settings.

Path to Recall Display's registry settings:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Visions\PICS\Recall Display

The settings themselves:

MRUFileXX 

These entries are used by ReDisp to track items on the most recently used file list, appended to the File menu of ReDisp. If you wish to reset this list, delete ALL of the MRUFileXX entries. Deleting only part of the entries will cause undefined behavior.

Printer *(current default printer)

You may manually set a specific printer that will always be used instead of the current (when redisp starts) default system printer.

Wiz Defs<binary>

New page wizard defaults. Set via ReDisp menu. These should NEVER be modified by anything except ReDisp itself. Doing so will result in a total loss of support for the node from EVI.

Expert1

This is no longer used by ReDisp. It was intended that the menus and dialogs have two modes of operation, one clean and simple, and one complete but possibly complex (expert mode).

Window State0

1 = Normal Window
2 = Minimized
3 = Maximized

Window Position<windows default>

Last position of a normal Recall Display window on the user's display.

Full Screen0 (not full screen)

1 = Full Screen
Determines whether Recall Display starts in full screen mode or not.

Save on Exit *1

Save current settings when Recall Display exits. 0 = Don't save on exit.

Enable BackFill *1

Allow backfill operation to occur. When 0, no backfill of any kind (even manually requested) will be allowed.

BackFill On Load *0

When set to 1, strip graphs are automatically backfilled when the page is loaded. This may be temporarily overridden by the setting of "BackFill At Start"

BackFill At Start *0

When set to 1, strip graphs are automatically backfilled when loaded during the Recall Display start phase. Once the initial workspace has been loaded, this setting is no longer used and the "BackFill on Load" setting takes over.

Enable Clear *1

When set to 1, the 'Clear' (F7) button is enabled in graph pages. When set to 0, the feature is disabled.

Use All Records *0

When set to 1, all data (good or bad) is plotted in strip graphs. When set to 0, bad data will cause gaps to appear in a strip graph, highlighting the loss of good data.

Page File Directory(current dir)

This is the folder where ReDisp starts its File Open dialog. When settings are saved on exit, this should be the last folder used to load a file.

Data Flow Timeout *120 sec

If no data is received for a real time alpha/graph page for this long, a large, inverse video 'X' is drawn over the page to indicate that the data there is old and not being updated. The testing is always performed by ReDisp, however, the 'X's visibility is further controlled by "Life Clock Enable" setting, below.

Big X Percent *3

The arms of the 'X' are this percentage of the total width of the page window in thickness. Typically, the default will be OK, but if you want the 'X' to be thicker and therefore more visible, increase this number a bit.

Life Clock Enable *0

When set to 0 (the default) ReDisp will NOT display 'the big X' when it detects a loss of data flow. When set to 1, the 'X' will be displayed when the conditions require it.

Hide Off Scan *1

Controls whether or not the string "<off scan>" is used as the value of points that are off scan. When 1 (true), then the string will be shown instead of a value. When 0 (false) the last known value will be displayed (unless some other condition dictates a different special string).

The special strings and the conditions that dictate them are shown in the following table:

Condition     Show
Data not valid     <no data>
Hide Off Scan AND
(Off Scan OR Auto Off Scan)
    <off scan>
Exception     <exception>
No scanned value available     <no value>
All other conditions     real time value
Default Retrieval Range * 28800 sec

This determines the amount of time that is pre-computed for users in the archive retrieval panel for a historical strip graph. The value is specified in seconds. The default value represents 8 hours (8hrs * 60min/hr * 60sec/min).
