Indicators

Some graphic components may have a small icon in the upper-left corner. These are visual indicators of
certain abnormal conditions:

Manual Control

— A yellow "M" indicates the point attached to the component is under manual

control. Normal operation of the component is not allowed, but it can be clicked to bring up the point
information screen.

Read Error

— A red "X" indicates the point attached to the component could not be read from the

device

— perhaps because the point address is invalid, the device is off-line, or the network is unreachable.
