Challenge VIII

When there is one or more unacknowledged alarms in a Substation, text of button SE1 on Menu_Screen must blink with another color

 

TIP

Use the ActiveNACKAlarms property of the Substation object.

 

The ActiveNACKAlarms property indicates the amount of alarms unacknowledged in a Substation. We want the text of the button to blink with another color if this value is greater than 0 (zero). Therefore, let's create a Digital Link on this object's text color, using an expression as its source.

1.Open Menu_Screen, right-click the button with the text "SE1" and select the Properties option.

2.On Links tab, create a Digital Link on the ForeColor property.

3.Use the AppBrowser to select the ActiveNACKAlarms property of object SE1. Complete the expression manually, by typing "> 0" at the end.
