Meters Setup
About Meters
The Meters window displays a group of individual meters based on the selected signal list. By default, each
individual meter maps to a signal in the signal list.
You can modify the default meter display associated with any signal list by adding additional meters, changing
the meter type, changing the signal selection.
The application can display a maximum of sixteen meters depending on the system installed. Meters displaying
command signals use the dimension and units of the channel’s active control mode.
Meter types
You may choose from four types of meters to monitor signal values.
• Timed meters—Display signal values at timed intervals.
• Peak/Valley meters—Display the peak and valley values for the most recent cycle monitored.
• Mean/Amplitude—Display the midpoint value and the difference between the peak and valley values for
the most recent cycle monitored.
• Running Max/Min—Display the highest and lowest values reached while the meter is running.
