PcVue


Symptom:

On its own, Windows is able to configure automatically the size of text, apps, and other items by setting Scale and layout parameter to a different value from 100%. This give some display troubles in PcVue graphical interface.


Details:

If for example your scaling is set to 125%:

 125 percent scale setting on Windows

You will notice that the trendviewer is not displayed in its correct size and you can see a residue of the previous mimic on the right side:

 Trend 125 Ko

And an equivalent problem with the AIGrid component (table):

AIGrid 125 Ko

To fix this you have no choice but to reset the scaling to 100%, reload Windows session and start again the project. You will get the correct size of all your graphical objects:

Trend 100 Ok

AIGrid 100 Ok

Note: If you are using multiple screens, this parameter must be configured for each screen.
