Value Gauge
The Value Gauge shows the value of the output specified in the Input property according to the format specified in
the Format property. The Justification property specifies whether the text is aligned to the left, right or centre of the
bounding rectangle.
Note: It is important to select the background color of the value gauge to be the same as the color of the
background the gauge is over. Failure to do so will result in corruption of the value displayed.
The value gauge has an optional warning mode that changes the color of the gauge when a warning limit for the input
is exceeded. To activate warning mode, check the Warning Mode Active box and specify the Warning color.
·
To have the warning activated when the value of the input goes above a certain value, click the Input Limit
Exceed button and enter a value for the Warning Limit. The displayed data will changed from the Text color
to the Warning color when the input value is greater than or equal to the Warning Limit.
·
To have the warning activated based on a secondary input, click the Secondary Alarm Output button and
select the output to be used as the trigger. The displayed data will changed from the Text color to the
Warning color when the secondary input value is non-zero.
·
If Flash If Warning Active is checked, the gauge will alternate between the warning color and the
background color whilst the warning is active.
