Creating latched push buttons
Use the Latched Push Button tool to create a button that latches in the on position, and
must be unlatched by another button or process to return to the off position. This type of
button is useful for starting a machine or process.
The Handshake tag must be set back to zero before the operator can press the latched push
button again.
Setting up latched push button properties
In the Latched Push Button Properties dialog box:
In the General tab, specify the general appearance and touch margins of the button,
its latch reset type, and whether an audio signal is produced when it is pressed.
In the States tab, specify what the button does when it is latched and unlatched.
In the Connections tab, specify the tags or the expression the button will use for
transferring data.
