CLD exam security system example

I have a question concerning the front panel Zone Status Indicators.

Would using a cluster of Color Boxes instead of a cluster or array of boolean indicators be acceptable?

Acceptable meaning - not take any points off for the exam because of using Color Boxes.  On the instructions for the exam it states "front panel similar to the graphics provided" .so I am assuming it would be ok.

I am about to take the exam myself.  I don't think that your solution has to exactly match NI's solution.  There are many ways to solve the problems.  I would think that anything that is functional would not have points taken off.  But I would follow the front panel given as closely as possible so as to not disturb the person grading the exam.  As for color boxes, they indicate just as well as a boolean indicator, so I would not think they would dock you any points.
