As shown in Figure 1, inSCADA offers an intuitive interface with user options on the left, an area where menu options are presented in the middle, and buttons for language switching in the upper left corner.
On the Home screen, there are dashboards where users can display 2 animation pages, 1 Trend and 1 alarm page for their projects. Dashboard settings can be changed by pressing the 
icon in the upper left corner.
On the inSCADA screen, you can see the status of system resources by clicking on the
