<![CDATA[Translating Data - Reading gives a numeric output, reference to a text label?]]>If I read a value out of a controller, and for example it is 3. It could be one of five values.

How can I get it to display the text associated with that? Can I assign a list against this point?

For example:
Modbus Controller outputs the value 3

I wish the value 3 to say "Breaker Open"

Can I put a list in against these values?
1 - Engine Stopped
2 - Engine Started
3 - Breaker Open
4 - Breaker Closed
5 - Trip

So when I assign a point the value comes through as "Breaker Open" instead of 3?

Thank you very much :)
