Dial
A Dial element graphically displays the value of the assigned channel as it varies.
Note the following:
• Each graphical component of the dial (as shown in the elements tree), including tick marks and text values
can be formatted and moved anywhere on (or off) the page.
• The pointer is the component of the dial to which the input channel is assigned.
• Start and end values, start and end angles, major and minor divisions, and tick text, can all be configured.
• The dial can be setup in a non linear progression.
For example: 0, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 etc.
Linear and non-linear progressions
All progressions are initially linear, as defined in the Configure Ticks window (explained below). A non-linear
progression, as mentioned above, can be defined after the linear dial is created. See
.
☛
The Configure Ticks window only defines linear progressions. If it is used after non-linear adjustments are
made, it will revert the progression to linear, and the non-linear adjustments will be lost.
Configuring Ticks
When a dial is first created a Configure Ticks window displays, this can also be displayed later by selecting the
Configure Ticks
button on the Properties pane.
