Adding a GridworX64 Viewer to a GraphWorX64 Display

With GridWorX64, you can visualize database data in the form of OPC-DA or through DataGrid Control. You can perform basic read and write actions along with stored procedures for connected databases. This application works similarly to Data Mining OPC Server in GENESIS32.

You can create a GridWorX64 viewer by using the GridWorX64 provider in the GENESIS64 Workbench. You can also create a GridWorX64 Viewer insider GraphWorX64 by using the GridWorX64 Control available in GraphWorX64. Steps for creating each are described below.
