Create Ramp buttons

At run time the operator can use the Ramp button to increase or decrease the value of a tag. Ramp buttons can change a value by either an integer or floating point value. You can use two Ramp buttons together to create a raise/lower control.

Tip:

Configure a numeric display object to show the value of the Ramp button’s Value connection.

  3. Double-click the button to open its Properties dialog box.
