This control can be used to display the value of a channel. The value can only be viewed, this control does not issue any control commands.
Id #
The Id field shows the internal number of the control and its type. The number is for display purposes only and is determined automatically by the system. The control type cannot be changed subsequently.
Name #
The name of the control. The name is displayed in selection lists and for most control types also directly to the user as a label.
Comment #
The comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the control, comments, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.
Options/Customize #
Timer: If the control supports timers, the timer can be activated with the checkbox.
Widget size: Sets the size of the tile for the control in the widget/tile view. If the combo box is empty, a standard size is used for the control type, which provides a good display in most application scenarios.
Further options: Opens a dialog in which additional, rarely required settings can be made (timer lock, overwrite colors).
Functions #
| Channel | Function |
|---|---|
| Display value | Channel whose value is displayed |
Display unit #
Defines the unit in which values are displayed. If the field is left empty, the unit specified by the channel from which the value comes is used. If the unit is specified differently, X2 attempts to convert the value for the display into the specified unit. If a conversion is not possible, the unit of the channel is displayed.
