I am new to HMI development. I am using Advanced HMI with RS Logix Micro. I would like to display text (representing alarms) when a specific bit is set. I have found some discussions on the subject but they are just a little advanced for me. I have tried use MessageDisplayByBit and I am missing some step in how to use it. Is there step by step insturctions that I can access? Thank you.

You may want to post on the official AdvancedHMI forum. It has much more users watching it.
For the MessageDisplayByBit, you set the following properties:
PLCAddressValues (e.g. N7:0)
PLCElementBitWidth (e.g. 16)
PLCNumberOfElements (e.g. 2 for 2 words of bits)
You then go into the Messages property and define each message and indicate its corresponding bit
