Create a multistate indicator

The multistate indicator displays the current state of a process or operation by showing a different color, caption, or image to reflect different states.
You configure the state values of the multistate indicator. Then, at runtime, the object displays the state whose value matches the Indicator connection value at the data source.
You can enter a maximum of 2000 states plus the Error state.
To create a multistate indicator
  1. In the
    Graphics Display
     editor, select
    Objects > Indicator > Multistate
    or drag Multistate from the toolbox.
  2. Drag the mouse to position and draw a rectangle the general size and location you want the indicator to be.
  3. Double-click the indicator to open its
    Properties
    dialog box.
  4. In the
    Properties
    dialog box, specify how the indicator looks, set up its states, and assign an Indicator tag.
    TIP:
    If the value of the Indicator connection does not match any of the configured state values for the multistate indicator, the error state is shown.
