About

The Magic Output simplifies the process of creating HMIs that display data defined by data sources, such as PLC Connection (Data Source Type).

The element automatically adjusts to the type of data being linked. For instance, suppose a linked Data Variable from your PLC is a Boolean (Data Variable Type) . In that case, the Magic Output will adjust itself to a status indicator with an icon and a descriptive status label.
