Set up string displays
Use the string display object to show the operator messages from the data source. For
example, you might set up the data source to generate strings that report on the state of a
process or operation, or that provide instructions about what the operator needs to do next.
At run time, the display shows the operator the string value of the Value connection at the
data source.
How values are shown
If the Value connection is unassigned, the string display is blank.
FactoryTalk View shows the number of characters (bytes) specified for the tag
assigned to the Value connection.

In the General tab, specify what the string display looks like at run time.
