The
The upper right-hand corner of the Substation page displays a template of the substation object’s appearance in terms of locations or "zones" where information can be displayed on the object. The rest of the page can be used to describe the appearance of the object and the information that appears in the substation objects.
Upper % of Height
This percentage indicates how much of the object is populated by the "upper" zone of the object. This includes the Upper Field, Upper Left (UL) and Upper Right (UR). As you decrease this percentage, the upper zone will get smaller, increasing the Identifer (middle) zone automatically, and vice-versa if you increase the percentage of the upper zone.
Identifier % of Height
This is the percentage of the height of the substation object that is occupied by the identifier or "middle" zone. This is the substation identifier section of the object.
Lower % of Height
This is the percentage of the substation object that is occupied by the "lower" zone of the object. This includes the Lower Field, Lower Left (LL) and Lower Right (LR). Unlike the previous two percentages, this percentage cannot be directly modified. Instead, it is automatically determined based on the settings of the Upper and Identifier percentages.
Left % of Width
This percentage indicates how much of the object is populated by the "left" zone of the object. This includes the Upper Left (UL) and Lower Left (LL). As you decrease this percentage, the left zone will get smaller, increasing the Identifier (middle) zone automatically, and vice-versa of you increase the percentage of the left zone.
Identifier % of Width
This is the percentage of the width of the substation object that is occupied by the identifier or "middle" zone. This is the substation identifier section of the object.
Right % of Width
This percentage indicates how much of the object is populated by the "right" zone of the object. This includes the Upper RIght (UR) and Lower Right (LR). As you decrease this percentage, the right zone will get smaller, increasing the Identifier (middle) zone automatically, and vice-versa of you increase the percentage of the right zone.
Buffer Percent
The buffer width for the height settings provide a buffer zone of the percentage width specified horizontally between the Identifier section and the upper / lower field sections. Similarly, the buffer width for the left and right width fields indicates a percentage buffer vertically between the upper / lower field zones and the four corner zones.
Substation Identifier
Choose how the identifier will be displayed for the substation. Choose to display by name, by number, or by combinations of name and number. The identifier will be displayed in the Identifier or "middle" zone of the substation object.
Shape
Select the shape used for substations that are not overriding the Substation Layout Settings.
What should be done when identifier text does not fit inside the width
As the name of this option suggest, you can choose how the text in the identifier section of the object should be modified if resizing of the substation object causes the text to be too large for the modified size.
Extra Substation Fields
These four fields, two of which are represented as the Upper Field and Lower Field on the template, can be customized to display any substation field of your choosing. Use the drop-down arrow of the appropriate box to choose a field, or use the Find button to pull up a list of fields to choose from. Once the field has been chosen, set the digits and number of decimal places for the field. Also check Units? to show the units if the extra fields.
Upper-Left Symbol (UL)
Choose what symbol to display in the upper-left zone of the substation object. You can choose from None, Switched Shunt, Generator, Number of Buses, and Load. If the substation contains at least one type of the chosen object, a symbol representing that type of object will be displayed in the Upper-Left location of the object to indicate such a presence. By default, the Upper-Left zone will display the Generator symbol.
Upper-Right Symbol (UR)
Choose what symbol to display in the upper-right zone of the substation object. You can choose from None, Switched Shunt, Generator, Number of Buses, and Load. If the substation contains at least one type of the chosen object, a symbol representing that type of object will be displayed in the Upper-Right location of the object to indicate such a presence. By default, the Upper-Right zone will display the Load symbol.
Lower Left Symbol (LL)
Choose what symbol to display in the lower-left zone of the substation object. You can choose from None, Switched Shunt, Generator, Number of Buses, and Load. If the substation contains at least one type of the chosen object, a symbol representing that type of object will be displayed in the Lower-Left location of the object to indicate such a presence. By default, the Lower-Left zone will display the number of buses in the substation.
Lower-Right Symbol (LR)
Choose what symbol to display in the lower-right zone of the substation object. You can choose from None, Switched Shunt, Generator, Number of Buses, and Load. If the substation contains at least one type of the chosen object, a symbol representing that type of object will be displayed in the Lower-Right location of the object to indicate such a presence. By default, the Lower-Right zone will display the Switched Shunt symbol.
