Multi-state picture

Function

The multi-state picture display enables the display of different pictures in dependence of a signal value. Like for the multi-state label display, you can define different value ranges of a measured signal and assign different pictures to them.

The pictures can be of any bitmap image type, like BMP, JPG, PNG, etc.

Configuration

Miscellaneous

Here, you choose the signal as data source, the update interval, tooltip options and the background color.

States

In the States section of an object, you can add more states to the list by clicking on the button. You can delete a selected state from the list by clicking on the button. An arbitrary number of states can be defined.

Details

Select a state from the list to configure it. By entering values in the Min and Max input fields, you set the value or value range for the state. Note that the respective minimum and maximum values are included in the range.

Note also that the order of states is important. The first match (from top to bottom) is always applied.

Besides the Min and Max values, each state can be assigned to a mode (picture display as with the element Picture) and a picture. The mode can be applied by clicking on the button <Apply mode to all states>.

Use the browser button in the lower right corner to select the picture file. The pictures are saved in the layout file if the option is enabled.
