To make GridWorX values more meaningful, you can translate them into words using the GridWorX configurator's Text Translator tab, shown below. A set of translated values is called a dictionary. You can use translation dictionaries so that translated text appears in grid columns.
Follow these instructions to create and use a set of translated values.
In the Create or Select a Dictionary box, select <New...> from the drop-down list.
In the same box, go to the field above the <None> selection and type the name of the new dictionary. Give it a name that aptly describes its use and the values it translates.
Click the plus sign at the name's right. This adds the new list to the drop-down list.
Now go to the Text Translation List and add each condition. A condition is a value or range of values that you want to translate into a word or words. To add a condition, do the following:
In the Alarm Condition column, click the empty button. This opens the Configure Filter dialog box where you define a filter that identifies the value or range of values for the condition. For help doing this, refer to Configuring Filters for Alarm Grids and Charts.
When you are done, click OK, which saves the condition, closes the Configure Filter dialog box, and returns you to the AlarmWorX64 Viewer Configurator.
Repeat this step for each condition in the dictionary.
When you are done, now you can use the dictionary: In your grid, go to the Column tab. From the column's Status Indicator drop-down list, select the dictionary. For more about this tab, refer to the Column Tab.
