Create a string display

Use the string display object to show the operator messages from the data source. For example, you might set up strings that report on the state of a process or operation, or that provide instructions about what the operator should do next. At runtime, the display shows the operator the string value of the Value connection at the data source.
TIP:
The display can show any character in the Windows character set. Configure the data source to show the string values that suit your purposes.
