    Text in the second line can be controlled by the following objects:

  • Timer: the setting of the timer is shown here, if it is activated
  • Calendar of holidays: the setting of the calendar of holidays is displayed here
  • Calendar of public holidays the setting of the calendar of public holidays is displayed here


    • Dynamic text modules and icon modules can be created (Project/Design-Dynamic Icons/Texts) to allow texts and icons to change depending on the condition of the above-mentioned control objects.
    Example of dyn. text and icon

    This example shows the setting for a dynamic text (blue frames) in the second line "Light ON" "Light OFF".
    The red frames show the settings for a dynamic icon "Light ON" "Light OFF".
    Text/icon control is via the communication object "Light for cellar" (upper area).
    Example of dyn. text by timer

    This example shows the setting so that the setting of the timer is displayed as a dynamic text. These settings can only be made in the first designs for all designs.
    Here, the settings of the "Timer, outside lighting" are shown in the second line.
