I emailed this same request to Red Lion support but I thought I would post it here also since several of you use Crimson 3.0
I am in the process of working my way through learning the Crimson 3.0 software. I am doing a project for a G306. I have tried to make use of all the resources I have found so far, ie the user manual, knowledgebase, and a video I found on youtube. However I’m still having some issues/questions. I will mention a couple in this request. I am attaching 2 pictures that show examples.
First is in regards to creating a multi-state indicator that has 5 states. My primary experience in HMI programming has been with Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View. FTV has an object called “multi-state indicator” so it’s obvious what to chose. I have figured out that C3.0 uses formats that can be applied to various objects. So after some experimenting I was able to add a multistate format to a primitive. It does work, however I would like to be able to have the entire object change color with each state and not just the text. Is this possible?
The second item is in regards to a numeric display. I like that you can use format units after the value. However when I tried to use the unit µS the word +BIG appears in the display. The odd thing is that this unit appears just fine in a numeric entry as you can see in the setpoints picture. Any way to fix this in the numeric display?
