B.7 Setting Up the OPC Test Client
Normally, users conduct real-time monitoring on their computer screens via the OPC
Client connected to the OPC Server. Kaye supplies the OPC Test Client so that installers
can check the operation of the OPC Server. (For real-time monitoring, users can set up
their own OPC Clients, or Kaye can provide a custom solution.) To open the OPC Test
Client, open the Windows Start Menu. From the Programs Menu, click on
Kaye, and then
on
OPC Test Client. The OPC Client window appears similar to Figure 36 below.
