Analog Meter

The Analog Meter wizard is useful to represent parameter values such as temperature or pressure from
a NTXS Unit or PLC tag.
To draw the object, click on the Analog Meter button. Place the tool on the screen. This wizard repre-
sents the word register on a analog meter. The dialog box has four pages: Meter Foreground properties,
Meter Background properties, General Properties, and Operation. Foreground Properties define the
number of meter divisions and display range. The Background Properties define needle color, meter
style, and range color settings. The General attributes define the label properties and enable or disable
the border. The Operation page defines meter start and end angles, control tag and the meter range.
Meter Foreground Properties
Meter Foreground properties define the display range and meter divisions.
Display Range
If enabled, the values of the minimum display range, maximum display range, and major divisions will be
shown on the meter. The limits for the minimum and maximum display range are dependent upon the
data type of the tag that is assigned for the meter.
Divisions
If enabled, the number of major and minor divisions on the meter scale can be specified.
Simulate
The user can simulate the text for the various languages configured in the wizard, the tag value with its
corresponding deflection and see a preview in the window.
