Note that it is also possible to display an alarm bar underneath a value gauge. For this to work correctly, the alarm
bar must be bigger than the maximum likely size of the value gauge. When setting this up in the editor, it is easier

sizing the alarm bar correctly easier. If you have trouble selecting an item to edit, you can adjust it’s Z-Order to push
it behind other objects.
