Symbol indicators work well for showing the state of a process or operation at a glance. For example, you might create a symbol indicator with a picture of a pump and set up the states so that the pump changes colors to show the state:
You can assign unique attributes (such as color, blink, and so on) to every state, but the monochrome graphic image you assign to the indicator is used for all states.
You configure the state values of the symbol indicator. Then, at run time, the object displays the state whose value matches the Indicator connection value at the data source.
Tip: |
If the value of the Indicator connection does not match any of the configured state values for the symbol indicator, the error state is shown. |
When you assign a bitmap image to this object, the size changes to the size of the image plus the borders you configure, if any.
