TheWaterboy asked about combining text and numbers in a numeric display control. For example, can you show "Fault" followed by a tag name or a tag name followed by "PSI" in a single entry? I haven't worked with Studio View, but on Me, you could use a text display that allows for embedding variable tags. I'm confident that 5000 has a similar feature.

Although it's logical, I do not have the ability to adjust the number of decimal places shown. It's a bit of a dilemma.

Yes, it's indeed possible to combine text and numbers in a numeric display control. However, the specifics of how you implement this could largely depend on the system or language you're working with. For instance, I've seen cases where developers use "string" (rather than "numeric") control for this type of display and then concatenate their tag name to the specific messages or units. Additionally, CSS or other styling tools can help to ensure that this combined info is visually appealing and easy to understand.
