Hi, anyone ever tried to write a script for notifying engine speed has reached a series of successive levels? Hope to get some help here, thanks in advance. ---

For testing purpose for now, I'm using a mimic memory tag to update this engine speed value which is another memory tag. But for the actual deployment, the data comes from a live engine controller through an opc ua tag. ---

What output do you want from this function? 0, 1, 2, 3 or "Stopped", "Lethargic", "Reasonable", "Full of beans"? ---

I would like to see succession of ramping up engine running speed levels attained with a mimic page showing each speed level label button appearing as they are attained. ---

> [@Gerald\_Lim](#): > > ... showing each speed level label button appearing as they are attained. You don't want **buttons**. You want **labels**. To set the text of a label dependent on the rate, create an expression binding on each label. For example, `if({value} > 5, "Speed 1 achieved", "")` ![Speed binding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/b/1b2998b888277d4bf56771c74cb55eb062e1b5e4.png) To **control the labels' visibility** create a similar expression binding on their `meta.visible` properties. `if({value} > 5, true, false)` Or, even simpler, `{value} > 5` why will return a true or false. ---

How is this being used in automated testing?
