The Classic View perspective is built into the tool and always available. When you first open an application, the tool defaults to the last used perspective of the application's system configuration. The following figure shows the Classic View perspective of the user interface. The table describes the components.

When you run a simulation or view live data in the commissioning mode, changing values are highlighted by a color. Colored highlighting is determined by the frequency that the value changes. As poll cycles return consistent values, the highlight fades away. This feature brings attention to changes throughout the application data system to expose potential relationships between values and modules and assist in troubleshooting.
Note: Temporary color highlights appear in three color stages (blue, yellow, and red). After the third stage (red) has been reached, all subsequent consecutive changes continue to display red. For more information on status color, see Table 1.
