How display channel as On or Off instead of numbers

This is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to get a channel like a driver switch or Traction Control to display On or Off, it only displays the numerical value. Changing units on the channel doesn't seem to display any different, should I use a 2D table to create another output channel or what's the best way to go about this?

I think the standard dash manager will only show numeric channel values, but you can do what you want with Display Creator.

Wow, that's really disappointing I would have to purchase Display Creator to do something as simple as making it show On or Off instead of a 0 or a 1.

Well, you could make an alarm condition when the value changes, and use the message "xxx Off" and "xxx On", make it auto-dismiss after 1 or 2 seconds.
