
Appearance – Meter Foreground
o Display Range – option to display the number axis
o Divisions – configure the major/minor division scale points of the axis.
 Major Division – these are the number of major ‘ticks’. Note: does not
include the baseline (0 axis), minimum value must be 1.
 Minor Division – these are the number of minor ‘ticks’ per major
division. Note: if minor divisions are not required, select 1.
o Maximum Display Range – sets the maximum value that will appear at the right
of the number scale. Note: the range allowed depends upon the Data Type
selected in the Operation section (for negative numbers, you must select Signed
or Float)
o Minimum Display Range – sets the minimum value that will appear at the left of
the scale.

Design (List S) – identifies object.

Layout (List T) – coordinates (i.e. size and position) for the object.

Operation – these are the parameters for the start/end angles of the meter and the
target tag address.

Angle – End – This is the relative location of the maximum angle on the analog meter.
Number is in degrees with reference to 0° located at the leftmost position on the analog
meter.

Angle – Start – This is the relative location of the minimum angle on the meter. Number
is in degrees with reference to 0° location.

Data Type – options are:
Data Type Range
Target Address
(2 bytes)
Target Address

Unsigned 0 to 65535 0 to 4294967295
Signed -32768 to 32767
-2147483648 to
2147483647
Hexadecimal 0000 to FFFF 0000 to FFFFFFFF
BCD

0 to 9999 0 to 99999999
Floating Point
2
NA Maximum of 9 digits
1- If the value in the monitored target register is not a valid BCD number, a dollar sign
‘$’ is displayed.
2- Floating Point format is based upon the IEEE 754 standard for 32-bit single precision
numbers. A maximum of nine digits is supported. Values are rounded to the
nearest decimal point (ex: if Format: Digits After Decimal Point is set to 1 digit, then
floating point number 1.52 would be displayed as 1.5 and 1.56 would be displayed
as 1.6) shows the current state displayed on the Multiple Bar Graphs for editing.

Tag Address (List Qa) – this is the address of target register that is continuously read by
the HMC to determine the analog meter needle position.

Tag Name (List Qb) – this is the name given to the tagged register in the tag database

Value Start/End (List Pe) – select the limits that are used by the analog meter to show
the relative level of the meter. The maximum value has the needle indicator in the
maximum position. The minimum value has the needle in the minimum position.
