Properties Reference

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of all object properties:

Property	Description
Action Property Name	Property type that will be changed for the selected object when the corresponding conditions are met. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open an editor window to specify both the property type and the corresponding value (which will be reflected in the Action Property Value property). Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Action Property Value	Value or setting that will be applied to the property specified in the Action Property Name property for the selected object when the corresponding conditions are met. This value is informational only and can be changed only when editing the Action Property Name property. Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Checked State	Special property available for circuit breaker (OCB), gang, and switch electrical shapes to change the shape based on the corresponding signal's on/off status. By default the shape is set to Unchecked. Select Checked to check the on/off status either manually or programmatically based on signal value change. Select Indeterminate when the state of the shape is unknown.
Comparison Type	Comparison to evaluate Left Conditions and Right Conditions properties to evaluate whether or not a condition should trigger an action for the selected object. Select one of the following options: And means that both the left and right conditions must be met for the condition to be triggered and the resulting action activated. If only one of the conditions is met, the action is not activated. Or means that either the left or right condition can be met for the condition to be triggered and the resulting action activated. If only one of the conditions is met, the action is activated. Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Conditions	Conditions under which specified actions for the selected object will occur. For example, a bus color could change from yellow to red if a condition is set to do so when the voltage exceeds a predefined threshold. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open an editor window to specify the conditions and resulting action. Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Dashes	Dashed line pattern that will be used when a dashed line type is selected in the parent Line Style property. This property is informational only and cannot be edited.
Data Adapter	Corresponding data adapter when a signal is selected in the Signal property. This property is informational only and cannot be edited.
Data Feed Update Interval (ms)	Frequency in milliseconds that the data stream for the signal selected in the Signal property should be refreshed. Use this property to slow down any fast-changing value at the raw 30 samples/sec rate. Type the number of milliseconds (only the number without ms or milliseconds) in the text box. -1 is the default value, which is set as a placeholder to ignore this value and instead use the default data stream rate from ISG. Enter a positive value to override the default data stream rate and update based on the specified number.
Diagram	Diagram to which the selected object links when clicked by the user. For example, this is the diagram the user navigates to when they click a button. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open a selection window to select the diagram to which the object links. Refer to the Creating Links to Other Diagrams topic for specific instructions on creating diagram links.
Fill	Color of the inside of the selected object. For example, the fill would be the color of the inside of a shape. Set the color using the color settings in the selection box.
Font Name	Name of the font to use for the corresponding text on or with the selected object. Select the name of the font from the selection box.
Font Size	Size of the font in points to use for the corresponding text on or with the selected object. Select the number of points from the selection box.
Font Style	Font formatting, such as bold or italic text, for the corresponding text on or with the selected object. Select the formatting style from the selection box.
Foreground Color	Color of the related property for the selected object. For example, if this property appears with font properties, it will set the color of the text using that font. Set the color using the color settings in the selection box.
IsPositive	Special property available for the pricing vector electrical object to change the object's Shape Orientation based on whether the price is positive or negative. When defining the pricing vector, select an arrow direction using the Shape Orientation property. This orientation is then used when the price is positive or negative based on whether or not the IsPositive check box is selected. When the corresponding pricing vector electrical object receives pricing data that is opposite to the defined direction, then the pricing vector arrow reverses its orientation in the diagram.
Label Font	Name of the font to use for the text specified in the Label Text property. Select the name of the font from the selection box.
Label Font Size	Size of the font in points to use for the text specified in the Label Text property. Select the number of points from the selection box.
Label Foreground	Color of the label text for the text specified in the Label Text property. Set the color using the color settings in the selection box.
Label Text	Text that appears as a label to introduce Signal data for the selected object. Type the text in the text box as you want it to appear with the data for the object. For the label text and data to be visible, you must also enable the Show Labels property. You can specify the visual design properties of the label text using the Label Font Size, Label Font, and Label Foreground properties.
Left Conditions	Conditions for the Signal property that must be met for an action to be activated. For example, you could specify a left condition so that a corresponding action is triggered when voltage for a signal drops below 210 kV. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open an editor window to add the conditions. Used with Comparison Type and Right Conditions properties. Traditionally, the left condition is used for the lower value of a condition while the right condition is used for an upper value of a condition. Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Line Color	Color of the selected object's line or outline. Set the color using the color settings in the selection box. Typically used in combination with the Line Style and Line Thickness properties.
Line Style	Pattern of the selected object's line or outline. Select a pattern from the selection box. Typically used in combination with the Line Color and Line Thickness properties.
Line Thickness	Width in pixels of the selected object's line or outline. Type the number of pixels (only the number without px or pixels) in the text box. Typically used in combination with the Line Color and Line Style properties.
Offset	Number of pixels from the left and from the top that the corresponding object's top left corner is placed in relation to its position on the diagram. For example, 5,10 means that the object's top left corner will appear 5 pixels to the left and 10 pixels from the top, in relation to its position as it was drawn on the diagram. This is a child property of Line Style. This property is informational only and cannot be edited.
Right Conditions	Conditions for the Signal property that must be met for an action to be activated. For example, you could specify a right condition so that a corresponding action is triggered when voltage for a signal spikes above 260 kV. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open an editor window to add the conditions. Used with Comparison Type and Left Conditions properties. Traditionally, the right condition is used for an upper value of a condition while the left condition is used for the lower value of a condition. Refer to the Setting Conditional Actions topic for specific instructions on setting conditions and actions.
Shape Orientation	Default rotation of the selected object when the rotation value is 0°. For example, when you draw an electrical object, the default orientation might appear horizontal. However, you might prefer the default orientation to appear vertical. You can also rotate the object using the free-form drawing tool, but the 0° rotation value will be the value selected as the shape rotation. Select the default orientation you want to set for the shape from the selection box.
Show Labels	Selection that specifies whether or not the Signal data for the selected object will be visible in the diagram. Usually you will also specify label text in the Label Text property to introduce the data. Select the check box to make the label text and data visible. Clear the check box to hide the label text and data.
Signal	Signal to display with the selected object. For example, you could draw an electrical object on a diagram and map a corresponding PMU signal to display with that object. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open an editor window to select the adapter and signal. The corresponding data adapter selected here appears in Data Adapter property.
Text	When setting this property for a toolbox object (for example, a button or label), this is the text that appears on or with the object. For example, this is the text that appears on a button. Type the text in the text box that want to appear on or with the object. When setting this property as part of the Conditions property, this is text you can use to identify the purpose of the condition. It does not appear in the actual diagram. Type text in the text box that will help you identify the condition.
Version No	Version number of the diagram selected in the Diagram property. This value is informational only and can be changed only when editing the Diagram property. Refer to the Creating Links to Other Diagrams topic for specific instructions on creating diagram links.
