Adding an On/Off Controller Visual Control

Creating an On/Off Controller Visual Control is as easy as creating the On/Off Controller itself.

Drag and drop the On/Off Visual Control icon, , from the Visual Control Toolbar onto the main Visual Control Panel.

 

A Property Sheet appears when you create a Visual Control (just like when you create a Component). We are prompted to choose a Component from the Select Visual Source form. Only the "Temp Controller" On/Off Controller can be attached to this Visual Control so we select it an click OK.

Back in the Visual Control's Property Sheet, we simply click OK again to finish making the Visual Control.

 

The On/Off Controller Visual Control shows the user the value of the Source relative to the Setpoint, as well as the current state of the Output. It lets the user adjust the Setpoint as well as disable the Controller or set it to "Manual" control.

Next we'll quickly add some Visual Controls to make it easier to to view the temperature inside the incubator.
