The Simple View perspective is built into the tool and always available.

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, exposes potential relationships between values and modules, and assists in troubleshooting.
Note: Temporary color highlights appear in three color stages (blue, yellow, and red). After the third stage (red) is reached all subsequent consecutive changes continue to display red. For more information on status color, see Table 1.

The following figure shows the Simple View perspective of the user interface. The table describes the components.
