Reinit. property node.

[lvrichard]

Hi All,

Please see attached screen shots...

I am testing two devices with the pass/fail criteria of each sub test indicated on the front panel. Each indicator should default to the grey colour. If the unit passes, the indciator goes green, and if it fails, goes red. I am using proeprty nodes to implement this as shown.

When the proprty node writes a colour to the indicator, it sets this to default, so they no longer reinit. back to 'grey' once the test cycle is complete.

How can I solve this ?

Richard.

Hi Richard,

use colorbox indicators when you want to change colors in the UI…

(Or set the LEDs to your needed colors (gray&green, gray&red) and switch their state!)

Hi Gerd,

The colour box indicator could work, I didnt think about that.

But the probem here is that i want one indicator to potentailly be three colours (grey, green or red), and reset back to grey after each test cycle.

Thanks again....

Hi richard,

Use a colorbox. Or a picture ring with 3 items…

and reset back to grey after each test cycle.

Then you need to program this!

The "ReInit" method will only set the VALUE of the control/indicator to its default value, but will NOT change any other properties like colors!
