• The Flash on Alarm property is used to indicate whether or not you want the text
on the Gateway’s display to flash if the tag entered in the value property is
currently in an alarm state. This property is not available for those primitives that
have a non-tag value defined for the value property.
• The Value Background property is used to indicate whether the value should be
drawn with a solid or transparent background. The choice of format will
typically depend upon the visibility of the value against the bar itself.
• The Get From Tag properties are used to indicate from where the label text, the
field format and the text colors should be obtained. The options presented
depend on what was entered for the Value property. In each case, you may
manually enter the data in the appropriate properties, or, assuming a suitable
expression has been defined, you may instruct the primitive to get the required
information from the underlying data tag.
The second page contains additional formatting information for the field…
• The Text Format properties are used to define the font and the colors to be used
to draw the value and the field label, assuming these elements are enabled.
• The Fill Format properties are used to define the fill color for the primitive. The
filled areas of the bars are drawn in the pattern and colors indicated, while the
unfilled areas are drawn with solid Fill Color 2.
• The Line Format properties are used to define the style of the primitive’s outline.
