How can I use a Boolian Indicator? - Newbie question

[Roman Dick]

If you want to change the state of an indicator at different locations
of your program you must create (one or more) local variables of your
indicator (right mouse click).
Then you can read and write the indicator. This means the indicator is
also an control.
Doing so you can consider your indicator as a variable having its
memory on the front panel.

Technically you are writing to the value of the indicator. Just because you can read from it doesn't mean that it is a control. The best way to explain this is to have you create a property node by rightclicking on the indicator and selecting create>>property node. This will give you the ability to manipulate properties of a control OR an indicator. The local variable is just reading the value property of the control or indicator. Hope this helps. I am sure others might chime in.
