Set up states for a symbol indicator

Use the States tab to set up how the symbol indicator's appearance changes to match the value of the Indicator connection.

To set up states for the symbol indicator

  1. In the Graphics Display editor, double-click the object to open its Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the States tab.
  3. From the Select state list, select State 0.
  4. Specify these properties for State 0:
    • Value
    • Border color
    • Image appearance
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional state and the Error state. (The Error state has no value.)

Once you set up the properties for one state, you can copy and paste the state’s properties to another state or to all states.

Tip:

To add or remove a state without returning to the General tab, click Insert State or Delete State.
