Used by: Data Flow RTU, Polling Driver.
* Does not use the Style Settings tag.
The Data Age tag widget is used to display the time of the most recent poll of an RTU in hours, minutes, and seconds.
An example of a configured properties dialog for the Data Age widget:
Font
Select one of the font tags (or parameter linked to a font tag) that you with to use to display the text. The display will use the default system font if you do not select a font tag.
The parameters button is enabled only if the tag is drawn on a page that includes a font parameter or if the tag is part of a widget and the associated widget editor is open.
Note: While it is possible (and very easy) to modify the appearance of the text within this widget using the Format ribbon of the Idea Studio, you will find it much easier to manage a group of similar controls by defining a font tag and selecting that for each. Changes to all can then be made by adjusting the properties of a single font tag.
Type of Border
Select the type of border you would like to display the data age within. This can be one of three choices, as illustrated:
Text
Opens the Select Color Dialog from which you can choose the color of the text.
Background
Opens the Select Color Dialog from which you can choose the color of the background.
Disable Options
Disable selected operator-interaction features of this widget.
