Alarm color: This button opens the dialog Configure alarm, where you define at which
value the bar will be displayed in alarm color and which is the alarm color: Insert the
desired limit value in the edit field and activate one of the Conditions greater than or
lower than, in order to define whether values higher or lower than the limit value
should set off an alarm. Press button Alarm color to open the standard dialog or a
target-specific color selection list for choosing the alarm color. Close both dialogs with
OK in order to confirm the settings and to return to the main dialog for configuring
the bar display. If the option 'Use color ranges' (see below) is activated, no entries are
possible.
Variable/Scale: This button opens the dialog Configure scale and variable, which
corresponds to that used for the Meter element.
Element frame: If this option is activated a frame will enclose the bar display.
Bar background: If this option is activated, the whole display range will be indicated
by a black bar in the background of the current values' bar, otherwise only the current
values' bar will be displayed.
Use color areas: If this option is activated, any settings defined in the dialogs for 'Bar
color' and 'Alarm color' (see above) will not be valid. In this case the color area
definitions will be used, which have been made in the dialog 'Configure color areas'.
This dialog can be opened by pressing button 'Color areas' (see below)
Color areas: This button opens the dialog Configure color areas where you can define
a separate color for each partition of the scale. These definitions will only be valid if
the option 'Use color areas' (see above) is activated. Use the dialog as described for the
Meter element.
No Scaling: If this option is activated, the inserted element cannot get resized.
