Controls and Indicators

orgraphs in traditional programming languages. BridgeVIEW contains
avariety of controls and indicators that you can choose according to the
kind of values or quantities you want to evaluate or display.
You can configure all the controls and indicators using options from their
pop-up menus. Popping up on individual components of controls and
indicators displays menus for customizing those components. To access
thepop-up menu, right-click on any object that has a pop-up menu.
The primary data types you use in BridgeVIEW applications — numeric,
Boolean, string, and tag, are described in the following sections.
Numeric

numeric objects are the digital control and the digital indicator, shown
