METHOD, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIA FOR GLOBAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF TIME
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing time in a plurality of graphical displays provided within a human-machine interface (HMI), said method comprising:
- displaying stored data via the plurality of graphical displays;
receiving data refresh configuration parameters via a configuration tool within the HMI;
storing the data refresh configuration parameters in a memory;
generating, by the HMI, a data refresh message that includes the data refresh configuration parameters; and
refreshing, by at least a portion of the plurality of graphical displays, display of the stored data based on the data refresh configuration parameters.

Abstract
A method for synchronizing time in a plurality of graphical displays provided within a human-machine interface (HMI) includes displaying stored data via the plurality of graphical displays, receiving data refresh configuration parameters via a configuration tool within the HMI, and storing the data refresh configuration parameters in a memory. The method also includes generating, by the HMI, a data refresh message that includes the data refresh configuration parameters, and refreshing, by at least a portion of the plurality of graphical displays, display of the stored data based on the data refresh configuration parameters.

15. One or more computer-readable storage media having a plurality of computer-executable components for synchronizing time within a human-machine interface (HMI), said plurality of computer-executable components comprising:
-
a plurality of graphical display components that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to display stored data; and a global time control component that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to; receive data refresh configuration parameters via a configuration tool within the HMI; store the data refresh configuration parameters in a memory; generate a data refresh message that includes the data refresh configuration parameters; and broadcast the data refresh message to the plurality of graphical displays components such that at least a portion of the plurality of graphical display components refresh display of the stored data based on the data refresh configuration parameters. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
