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
To use any of the gauges, simply assign the gauge to a SCADA unit and DataPoint in the prop-
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.
