The LCD 7 Segment widget represents the associated tag's value as an LCD display. An active alarm will cause the numbers to use the alarm color.

The default colors look best against a dark background, but may be configured as required within the linked Style Settings tag.

These widgets will indicate an active alarm according to the properties of the attached Style Settings tag (Exceptions tab). To continue indicating an alarm that is unacknowledged but no longer active, change the property AlarmWidgetsShowUnackedNormalAlarm in the application's properties, setting the value to 1.

The properties dialog for the LCD 7 Segment widget:

Style

Optionally, select a Style Settings tag to control the colors shown by the light, in response to the linked tag's value and alarm state.
