8.19.2 Configuration of the Bar Display element
The visual bar display element can be added to a visualization by dragging it from the
toolbox. Its appearance being designed like a thermometer allows to visualize the
actual value of the associated input variable.
See in the following a sample of inserting and configuring a bar display element:
Abb. 54 Example - Inserting a bar display element and associating the input variable
The associated input variable - a variable named "xInput" in the example - has to be
specified within the element properties of the bar display element; after clicking in the
edit field of property "Variable" you will find the button
, which can be used for
selecting the input variable by browsing your project. Take care to indicate the input
variable by its entire path within the device tree.
