Specifies the direction that the needle moves. Now only the Clockwise is available.
Data Type
The data type of the monitored variable. The supported data types include: 16-Bit
Unsigned Integer, 32-Bit Unsigned Integer, 16-Bit Signed Integer, 32-Bit Signed Integer,
16-Bit BCD, 32-Bit BCD, 32-Bit Floating Point, 16-Bit Signed BCD (LMB), 32-Bit Signed
BCD (LMB), 16-Bit Signed BCD (LMD), and 32-Bit Signed BCD (LMD).
Monitor Address
Specifies the variable to be monitored.
Click

to select a tag for this field.
Dynamic
Range
Check this option so the minimum and the maximum of the monitored variable will be
specified at runtime. When this option is selected, the minimum and maximum of the
marks for the scale of the meter can be specified at runtime too. The data that specifies
the above two ranges should be set and arranged correctly in a memory block called the
dynamic range parameter block. You need to specify the dynamic range parameter block
for the meter in the Dynamic Range Parameter Block field.
