Method and apparatus for assessing performance of an environmental control system
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for analyzing performance of control applications in an environmental control network, comprising:
- receiving at least one performance indicator for each control application;
identifying at least one control application experiencing degraded performance using a first view of the performance indicators; and
obtaining additional information regarding the at least one control application using a second view of the performance indicators.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for assessing performance of control applications in an environmental control network and for diagnosing performance problems. The apparatus includes a performance assessment and diagnostic display comprising a facility navigation tree, a system navigation tree and a performance/diagnostics window. The facility navigation tree and system navigation tree may be used to select the facilities and systems that are to have their associated control applications assessed and/or diagnosed. The performance/diagnostics window includes graphs of performance indictors that are indicative of performance levels for the included control applications. The system tree may be used to delve to more detailed views of the performance indicators to obtain additional information that may help to diagnose problems noted in performance of the selected control applications.

21. A computer program product for analyzing performance of control applications in an environmental control network, the program product in combination with and embodied on a computer-readable medium and comprising machine-readable program code for causing, when executed, one or more machines to perform the following method steps:
-
displaying performance indicators for the control applications using a first view that allows at least one control application exhibiting degraded performance to be identified; and displaying performance indicators using a second view that provides additional details regarding the performance of the at least one control application. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
