An instrument is a complete device connected at a unique address on the communications link.
This could be a controller (such as a temperature controller), an indicator, a process controller, a PLC, or a control system.
These are all considered to be Instruments by SpecView.
Each Instrument has a number of parameters.
In the case of complex instruments, where there are a very large number of parameters, or where it makes sense to divide the parameters up into logical groups, then the parameters are grouped into Instrument Views.
For example:
| • | A programmable controller will have separate Instrument Views for the programmer module and the controller module. |
| • | A multi-loop controller will have separate Instrument Views for the programmer module and for each of the loops. |
