Logical On/Off Display Indicators In User Interface Design

I am currently developing a Model Rocket Launch Interface using Synthiam ARC. I have implemented a custom button to arm the launch controller. Additionally, I've incorporated a custom graphic button to display the status of the Armed/Disarmed variable, along with an indicator light to show when the system is ARMED. Furthermore, there is a "READY" custom button indicator that will turn green when the igniter has a continuous path, which is measured through a digital input.

My question is: Will this setup effectively display logical On/Off values for the ARMED and READY variables using the image button feature in ARC? The ARMED switch is programmed to toggle On or Off when pressed, but I want the indicators for ARMED and READY to reflect digital logical values accurately.

This project is posted as LaunchControlV4Java and is shared as a public cloud app.

Sure, do like this example project. Add a script label and have it display a variable (i.e. $CountDown) and then have a button that counts down

DJ, I got the countdown button thing nailed- thank you for your help on that a few weeks ago. What I want to do is add some flags and animate the change of the flags on the user interface screen.  My project is called LaunchControlV4Java and is saved as public on cloud storage.

Specifically, I want to toggle the ARMED switch will toggle its variable.  The READY light will come on when the digital input from the ignitor continuity is made. If the System is ARMED and the Ignitor Flag is READY  then I will make it so the Start/Stop Countdown toggle will will work.

Here is the screen:

What I don't understand is can I use the Image Buttons (with on and off states) to indicate the status of a flag - instead of just a button function? If not is there a logical On/Off indicator Image function that I can use to animate the indicator lights?

Here are the Image Icons I have created for buttons and lights:
