PLACING GAUGeS ON THe PALeTTe

The Gauges tab features several bar gauges, an angular gauge, and a strip chart. The gauges

can be assigned to DataPoints or analog I/O values or variables. The Strip Chart can display

multiple datapoints on the same chart. (Note that the gauges and strip chart only display dur-

ing Run mode.) Click on the Gauge Tab.

Figure 24: Gauge Tab

You have five gauge options: The AGauge places a dial gauge on the palette. The LGauge

places a rectangular gauge that can be oriented either horizontally or vertically. The

ProgressBar places a bar graph on the palette that can be used to show fills and is designed to

be linked to I/Os, and stretched and resized to fit over other graphics such as containers and

bitmaps. The Strip places a strip chart on the palette, allowing you to run a comparative chart

of up to 8 I/O points. GaugeLevel can be placed over or beside any other bitmap image (tanks,

wells) and linked to an I/O to indicate changes in levels.

Setting Up Gauges

erties menu. Next, enter Min and Max values for the range, and enter a title. The remaining

properties can be used to tailor the gauge to your application or preferences.
