The system indicator is an LED-style control that allows you to define and show the state of specified devices.
For example, on an activated panel, a system indicator will turn red and beep when a device is offline, then return to green when the connection is restored. A right mouse click on the system indicator on an activated panel also shows what state attached devices are in.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter or system function to function properly. You can also easily add a pre-defined label.
