Status lamp

A Status Lamp

The Status Lamp widget is an indicator that changes color based on a value passed from a function.

Settings

Mappings

The colors and conditions can be set and modified in the Mappings tab, where each color is associated to a value passed by a connected function output. If the value passed is not listed, the status lamp turns grey.

String, bool and all numerical data types are acceptable inputs, but each value needs to be manually assigned to a color.

The Status Lamp only accepts single values in the Value field. To associate ranges of numbers to a mapping, you will first need to create the groupings.

This can be done using Filters.

Hover text

You can turn on hover text in the Shape Settings. If the setting is active, you can check the message by going in Test Mode.

You can also change the message in the Mappings tab, in the field Custom Message. If the field is empty, the hover text will just show the value.

Monitoring the status of a function

The status lamp can also be used to monitor the status of a function in the logic board.

To link a function status to the status lamp, simply drag the status indicator to the left of the function onto the widget.
