Simulate a machine start/stop using buttons and a boolean tag.
# wonderware_intouch/demo/StartStopApp
1. Create a Boolean Tag 'MachineRunning'.
2. Drag two buttons: 'Start' and 'Stop'.
3. Configure 'Start' button: On Click -> Set 'MachineRunning' = True.
4. Configure 'Stop' button: On Click -> Set 'MachineRunning' = False.
5. Add an animated indicator light bound to 'MachineRunning'.
6. Run the runtime to control the machine state.Wonderware-intouch Language Guide
