Create or Select a list of Conditions

Enter a name for a new condition in the top text entry field then click on the + button to add it to a created list.

Once you have created some conditions, they will appear in the pulldown menu beneath the text entry field. If you wish to remove any from the pulldown list, select it then click on the - button.

Visual Styles Management

Visual Styles are applied to the rows of the GridWorX Viewer Control to provide visual feedback to users depending on Alarm Conditions. Use the grid on the side to add or remove Visual Styles. You can edit existing Visual Styles by click on the cells of the grid. When a Visual Style is selected, you can see a preview of the style in the "Selected Visual Style Preview" section under the grid. You can set different properties (ie. Background, Font Color, Blinking Speed) for each Visual Style. The Visual Style is applied to the grid if the related Alarm Condition is valid. Note that Alarm Conditions are applied in the order specified by the grid. If two are valid, only the Alarm Condition with the higher priority is applied.
