Set up local message displays

Use local message displays to provide the operator with information about what to do
next, or with information about a process. At run time, the local message display shows
one message at a time.

To use local messages, create a local message display object in a graphic display, and then
assign a local message file to the local message display object.

For more information about local messages, see page 19-26.

If no message exists for the trigger value that matches the value of the Value connection,
the display is filled with question marks (?).
