8.37 UserInterfaceType ObjectType
8.37.1 Overview
The UserInterfaceType provides a generic User Interface description consisting of:
An overview display, modelled by OverVU;
A close-up, detail display, modelled by ZoomedVU;
A control-loop view where the connections (modelled by the LoopVUReferences) among objects belonging to the same control loop are shown;
An overlay display where KPIs are shown, modelled by KPIVU;
A control panel, where shown objects can be read only (modelled by ControlPanelVURO) or read-write (modelled by ControlPanelVURW);
The UserInterfaceType is formally defined in the following table.

| BrowseName | Description |
| ControlPanelVURO | The control panel area where read-only objects are shown. Objects connected to a ControlPanelVURO by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the control panel. |
| ControlPanelVURW | The control panel area where read-write objects are shown. Objects connected to a ControlPanelVURW by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the control panel. |
| KPIVU | The object collecting variables to be displayed in the KPI section. Objects connected to a KPIVU by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the KPI display area. |
| LoopVUReferences | The collection of references to control loops to be displayed. Non-hierarchical references connected to LoopVuReferences by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the control panel. |
| OverVU | The overview of the UI interface. Objects connected to an OverVU by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the overview display. |
| ZoomedVU | The zooned view of the UI interface. Objects connected to a ZoomedVU by means of a non-hierarchical reference of type IsDisplayedBy are shown in the zoomed in area. |
