Hello,

Signals values can be set, reset, pulsed, inverted, read or written.  
Signals can also be bound to properties of the controls.

Signals have to be created from RobotStudio Offline or Online tab which can be used in ScreenMaker.

Hope, this information is helpful.  
If not, you can share your thoughts on what is your use case of the application being developed.

Thanks
