Max Value: The gauge’s maximum indicated value. Similar to the Min Value attribute, negative values
can be used if desired. Indicated value characteristics can even be inverted by setting the Max Value
attribute to a value less than the Min Value attribute.
Update Button: Clicking the update button will apply the current configuration attribute settings to the
gauge. Note, however, that simply updating the gauge’s current display properties does not write these
settings to the interface card’s filesystem. To save the current configuration of all the gauge windows to
the filesystem, the Dashboard tab’s “submit” button must be selected (refer to section 6.3.4).
Current Value: The current indicated value of the designated register is numerically displayed with the
configured Units string at the bottom of each gauge window.
The following is a summary of the different available gauge
types:
Gauge: Refer to Figure 16
. This type of meter implements a
rotary dial-type display format. The indicated value and units
are shown numerically on the face of the gauge, and via the
red indicator needle. The yellow needle shows the previous
indicated value, thereby providing a simple historical
reference. The “Min Value” attribute is not configurable; this
gauge always starts at 0.
