Value Display ​

A read-only numeric or text readout with a caption and unit.

In Studio ​

Drag a tag from the Tags panel and drop it on the canvas. Studio creates a Value Display at the drop point, already bound to that tag. It has no entry in the Components panel.

When to use ​

Use Value Display for a bound process value an operator only needs to read, not adjust. It is also what dragging a tag straight onto a screen creates for you.

Properties ​

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
ValueString(none)The bound value to display.
LabelStringValueThe caption shown above the readout.
UnitString(none)The unit text appended after the readout, e.g. °F, psi.
FormatString(none)An optional Python-style format string applied to the value before display.

Binding ​

Click Bind… on the Value property and bind it to a tag or an expression to drive the live value.

This binding is read-only — the component never writes to the tag.
