The Display Editor (with AutoCAD) course provides instruction to design and implement user interface displays representative of a power control center's energy management, generation, and transmission networks. The focus is based on AutoCAD features applicable to the system displays for power control centers. Dialog boxes, devices, AutoCAD to display layer/page mapping, layer control, overlays and de-clutter are many of the features addressed. Using a step-by-step tutorial, the student will go through the processes necessary to build a typical SCADA energy management one-line display and a dynamic, high-level overview display. Display design concepts and specific display building techniques are reviewed and discussed. Creation of representative displays is incorporated into the course to enhance the student's comprehension of the material. This course also incorporates a discussion and hands-on practice of the installation of the Display Build Facility (DBF) software required to run ACAD in the PowerOn Reliance environment.
