What is the purpose of the Object Viewer in the System Platform IDE?

The Object Viewer in the System Platform IDE serves the specific function of providing a real-time visualization of the values of objects within the system. It allows users to monitor runtime values, which can include data from various sources such as sensors and control devices. By displaying these runtime values, users can assess not only their current state but also their quality, which is essential for ensuring that data is reliable and accurate for decision-making and operational effectiveness. This capability is particularly important in environments where real-time data integrity is crucial for process control and monitoring.

Other options revolve around different functionalities not associated with the Object Viewer. For instance, managing user permissions relates to security and access control, while configuring network settings pertains to the communication infrastructure of the system. Creating new objects is a task associated with the design and development phase of system configuration, rather than the monitoring and verification functions served by the Object Viewer.
