TAG ATTRIBUTE TYPE DESCRIPTION
Tint_color_bounds Value list A two-element array in the form {low,high} where low
and high are numeric values determining the range of
values for the tag where the tint color will NOT apply,
also known as an exclusion range. Refer to the
Color_bounds attribute for more information.
When both Tint_color_bounds and Color_bounds
attributes are specified, Color_bounds takes
preference over Tint_color_bounds. However,
Tint_color_bounds still has the chance to act in the
range that has been excluded by Color_bounds,
allowing for further color customization based on tag
value.
Combined examples:
color_bounds := {-inf,50}; tint_color_bounds := {-
inf,0}; Will display all values above 50 in the Color
color; positive values up to 50 will be displayed in the
Tint_color color.
color_bounds := {-50,50}; tint_color_bounds := {-
20,20}; Will display all values below -50 and above 50
in the Color color. Values from -20 to 20 will be
excluded from the Tint_color color, so the tint color
will show for values from -50 to -20 and from +20 to
+50.
For boolean tags color_bounds and tint_color_bounds
have predetermined values. You can simply use
tint_color to display a color for both Off and On states,
while color will supersede the color for the On state.
blink Expression
booleean Numeric Expression. Will cause any non writable tag
to blink on the interface when the value assigned to
the attribute is not zero (true)
blink_bounds Value list A two elements array in the form {low,high} where low
and high are numeric values determining the range of
tag values where blinking will NOT be applied. If
specified on a read only tag, the tag will visually blink
with a period of 1 second for the values not in the
specified range.
Example (to set a tag to blink always) :
blink_bounds:={-inf,-inf};
Example (to set a tag to blink when its value goes
below -10 or above +10) :
blink_bounds:={-10,10};
Example (to set a boolean tag to blink for the On
state) :
blink_bounds:={0,0};
plot_color special text Determines the color to be used in trend graphs when
plotting this tag. If omitted a sequential color is
chosen automatically.
