OMRON Touchscreen String object

[Guest Guest_Chris]

Hi, Does anybody have any idea how to control a displayed string on an NT30 using just a bit value? Something like bit on displays "Running" and bit off displays "Stopped". We've tried looking through the NT-Basic manual, and I'm guess it has to do with Indirect Refernced strings, but the manual is unclear on how to set the actual displayed strings for this mode.

If it is was on a NT31C, it would have been a piece of cake. Since it is on a NT30C, we are going to have to use the little known object called alarm list. You will make an alarm list object on your screen and make it one item on the list displayed. Then fill in the string table and activate the bit table. See screen captures below.
