States Tab
Each Display Table has a series of states based on the values of the input bits. In addition to the
specifically defined input states, each Display Table has two special states:
Offline.
This is displayed when a module is offline. It is configured in the Display Tab
Properties window.
Default: This is the first state in the table (with all dashes).
It is used for any of the conditions not shown in the table.
The fields in the States tab are:
State Bit Names
This field shows the functions of the input bits as received from the hardware. Bit 0 (LSB) is
the right-most bit in the State Lines.
Since the comparator modules have fixed bit assignments, the Comparator Display Table has
fixed bit names. Bits used by other I/O devices will be user-defined based on their function.
The Bit Names in these Display Tables are user-assignable.
State Input Bits
Each Status line has a series of input bits that corresponds to its state. This is a trinary (binary
with don't care) field that defines the state.
Trinary Values
0
Not active
1
Active
-
Don't Care
Don't Care bits
A state that has a dash "-" in a bit position will be active whether that bit is either active or
inactive. For example, in the standard Comparator Display Table, the Vote state has a Don't
Care for the Rx bit. The Vote status will be indicated whether or not the Receive bit is active.
