The Logic Display gives the ability to write customised text out to the front panel LCD display. When the ‘Write’ input transitions to the high state the text configured in the properties will be written to the display and the output of the Logic Display will go high.
If configured by the properties (‘Clear on Reset’), the ‘Reset’ input can be used to clear the customised text from the front panel LCD. When the ‘Reset’ input is high the Logic Display output will be driven low.
If there are more than one of the Logic Display objects in the design, the object which is triggered last will take control of the display. The output of any previously triggered Logic Display Object will remain high until it either reaches its timeout or its Reset input is taken high.
LCD Text Top Line
The text to be displayed on the top line of the LCD (16 characters maximum).
LCD Text Bottom Line

Clear on Timeout
Whether the LCD text should be cleared on timeout or not. If set to ‘Yes’ the customised text written to the LCD will be cleared after the configured timeout (see below), the output will go low after the timeout and the LCD display will revert to its standard behaviour.
Timeout (in seconds)
The timeout period in seconds before the customised LCD text will get cleared and the output of the Logic Display goes low.
Clear on Reset
Whether the customised LCD text should be cleared when the reset input goes high. If set to ‘Yes’ the customised text written to the LCD will be cleared when the ‘reset’ input goes high and the LCD display will revert to its standard behaviour. The output of the Logic Display object will go low.
