Example
Visual "Pass/Fail" Indicator
To verify that an operator can clearly see the status of an inspection from a distance, a flow uses a Custom Image node to generate a solid Red or Green frame that fills the dashboard screen whenever a critical failure or successful pass is detected. To dynamically switch between these colors on a single dashboard widget, a Combine node must be used to manage the different image inputs.
Configuration:
- Width:
640 - Height:
480 - Color:
GREEN
Result: This solid one color frame is sent to the dashboard, instantly signaling to the floor staff the current product inspection result.
