The ASM_VIEWL system configuration implements the layered View testing architecture for the assembly example. The HMI device encapsulates the functionality of the human interface layer, and the VIEW device encapsulates the functionality of the view layer. The VIEW device contains one instance (VIEW.ASSEMBLY)of the specialized VIEW_PANEL resource type to provide the necessary layout of View elements for the drilling example. Inter-layer communication is implemented with the local multicast pattern, i.e., by using PUBL_3/SUBL_3 for linking the MECH_HMIL/MECH_VIEWL pairs.

This configuration is used to produce the illustrations of the desired sequence of operations for the assembly example.
