Setting up interlocked push button properties

In the Interlocked Push Button Properties dialog box:

In the General tab, specify the general appearance and touch margins of the button,
its value, and whether an audio signal is produced when it is pressed.

In the States tab, specify what the button does when it is pressed and released.

In the Connections tab, specify the tags or the expression the button will use for
transferring data.

Creating ramp push buttons

Use the Ramp Button tool to create a button that an operator can use to increase or
decrease the value of a tag.

Ramp push buttons can change a tag by either an integer or floating point value. You can
use two ramp buttons together to create an increase/decrease control.

Each time the operator presses the button, the tag changes to the next highest or next
lowest value, depending on how you set up the button.
