1. INTRODUCTION

CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data collection, processing, and display.

The CENTO software allows you to create, edit, and view diagrams without installing additional programs.

This Manual explains how to work in the built-in CENTO diagram editor, how to create and configure diagrams as well as how to link diagram elements to objects in the CENTO information model.

It is assumed that the user, having read the "User Manual", "Setup Manual", and "Information Model Setup Manual", is already familiar with the basic interface elements, ways to configure CENTO, and the basic concepts of the CENTO information model.

2. VIEWING DIAGRAMS

Diagrams can be viewed by hovering over  in the CENTO main menu and clicking on the name of a diagram in the drop-down list under the button. The drop-down list contains a list of diagrams available for viewing. An example of a diagram screen with a drop-down list is shown in Fig. 2.1.

Zooming of the diagrams is performed by scrolling the mouse wheel, or by clicking the buttons in the upper-right corner of the viewing area Zoom in  or Zoom out . The Scale  button is designed to automatically adjust the size of the diagram within the screen. 

When using CENTO on touchscreen devices or on multi-touch panels, the image is zoomed in or out by double touching and simultaneously changing the distance between the touch points.

The visible portion of the diagram can be repositioned within the interface workspace by clicking and dragging with the left mouse button held down, or by pressing and dragging using the mouse wheel (middle mouse button).

Switching between diagrams is performed in the Active schemes tree displayed on the left side of the screen when the button  is pressed. This tree can be pinned in the viewer by clicking the button . The diagram currently displayed on the screen is highlighted within the corresponding tree structure . 

The sorting of diagrams and folders (IM objects) depends on the indicated position, see Fig. 2.1, as well as additional settings in the tree itself when the button is right-clicked.

The tree structure is sorted in ascending order based on the defined positional indices.

The tree structure is organized by folders and additionally sorted in ascending order based on the defined position within each folder.

The displayed diagrams can be exported to .png files, and sent for printing, thereby they serve to display the current state in a certain period. To do this, click on the Export button  on the right side of the screen and select the required menu
