Front Panel Object Attributes
This chapter describes objects called attribute nodes, which are special
block diagram nodes that control the appearance and functional
characteristics of controls and indicators.
With attribute nodes, you can set attributes such as display colors, visibility,
position, blinking, trend scales, and many more. To create an attribute node,
select Create»Attribute Node from the pop-up menu of the front panel
object or from the terminal in the block diagram, as shown in the following
illustration.
Initially, the attribute node displays a single characteristic. You can expand
the node to display multiple characteristics. To expand the node, select the
attribute node with the Positioning tool. Place your cursor over the node
near the bottom-right corner, and when your cursor changes to a frame drag
it to create the desired number of characteristics. Then you can change
attributes by clicking the node with the Operating tool and choosing the
new attribute from the pop-up menu, as shown in the following illustration.
