Now enter the commands 'Edit' 'Copy' (<Ctrl>+<C>) and then twice 'Edit' 'Paste'
(<Ctrl>+<V>). That gives you two more circles of the exact same size lying on top of
the first one. You can move the circles by clicking on the circle and dragging it with
pressed left mouse button. The desired position should, in our case, be in a vertical

row in the left half of the editor window. Doubleclick on one of the other two circles in
order to open the configuration dialog box again. Enter in the field Change Color of
the corresponding circle the following variables:

for the middle circle: L1_yellow

for the lowest circle: L1-green

Now choose for the circles in the category Color and in the area Alarm color the
corresponding color (yellow or green).
