Summary:

This article explains how to display only the Units text of a Register Variable in a Register Variable animation.


Details:

The format string by which a variable is configured may be entered in the variable definition or, when it is displayed in a mimic, in the definition of the animation’s support drawing element.

You can complete the Units Text field (using the #u format string) so as to display the Units Text with the Register value.

However it is also possible to display only the Units Text field, as follows:

  • Define a Register Variable with an entry in the Units Text field.
  • Add a Display Register animation using the format string: @#u.
  • When the variable has a value, the animation will display only its Units Text.

Register_Variable_display_Units_text_only

Note

The Units text is only displayed when the associated Register Variable’s value is significant. Otherwise a question mark (?) is displayed.
