Circle Gauge Label Type
The Circular Gauge is a component used for displaying element values on a circular scale. It consists
of range of numbers, bound by a minimum and maximum value, shown on the gauge. Typically, a
gauge scale contains gauge labels and tick marks to give an accurate reading of what the gauge
pointer shows.
A circular gauge arranges ticks and labels in a circular fashion, either on a full circle or a partial circle.
A circular scale can be used to create scales, such as clocks and odometers. The data fields on the
Describe your Gauge screen are used to set up the parameters for the gauge.
1. Access Circle Gauge label type according to previous procedures (page 65).
2. Under My Gauge Range, touch the Start Value data field and enter the starting (minimum)
value of the range that you want the gauge to display
3. Touch the End Value data field and enter the ending (maximum) value of the range that you
want the gauge to display.
4. In the Operating Range Angle, touch the desired angle you want the range to display on the
gauge.
a. If the desired angle is not present, touch Custom.
5. In the Custom data field (in the middle of the gauge pictogram), enter the custom angle
degree.
6. When ready, touch Next.
The In-Range Zone provides a visual element on the gauge to show when a system is
entering its optimal value or detrimental value. For example, the temperature gauge in a car
indicating when the engine is getting too hot; or a bicycle pump indicating when you have
pumped the optimal amount of air for the type of tire you are inflating.
On the Label Setup screen, you are still describing parameters for the gauge (not the label).
7. On the Label Setup dialog box, under In-Range Zone, touch the Start Value data field and
enter the starting value for the range that you want displayed on the gauge. (This In-Range
Zone is depicted by the green area in the figure below.)
