Initialize/Change visibility

An object becomes visible or invisible when the selected data point exceeds or drops below a set threshold.

Example

A graphics object becomes invisible when the value of a DP drops below a set threshold:

Select the online value of the data point (for example, ExampleDP_Arg1.) with the DP selector button (see figure above).
Select the operator Less than.
Enter the threshold (for example, 10).
Select Object invisible.
Click on Finish.

If you open this panel in the VISION module, the graphics object is only visible when the online value of ExampleDP_Arg1. is greater than or equal to 10.
