In the States box, you can view the running states (overall, automatic, and manual)
and the availability states (overall, automatic, and manual) of the workcell. The
indicators are green when active (i.e., running or available); they are red if they are
inactive (i.e., not running, unavailable) and they are gray if they have not been
configured for use. The buttons at the bottom are used to toggle the Manual status of
each indicator.

Digital Event

This display shows the current state of all Digital Events configured for the workcell.

The description of each digital event configured for the workcell is shown with a colored
circle to its left to indicate its current status. When the event is on (value equals 1), the
circle appears yellow; when the event is off (value equals 0), the circle appears gray.

Setting the Manual Availability status of a workcell to unavailable (i.e., inactive, red) will also
set the Manual Running status of a workcell to not running (i.e., inactive, red).
