based on device limits. More information on how these limits are used in calculating the percent
is given in the Pie Chart Parameters Tab and Gauge Parameters Tab sections in the Pie
Chart/Gauge Style Dialog description.
Use Device Low Limit
When checked, the low limit will be determined from the low limit defined for the device for the
selected field type. If device limits are not defined for the selected field, this option will not be
enabled. If not enabled, the low limit will be based on the value entered in the Low Limit box.
Use Device High Limit
When checked, the high limit will be determined from the high limit defined for the device for the
selected field type. If device limits are not defined for the selected field, this option will not be
enabled. If not enabled, the high limit will be based on the value entered in the High Limit box.
Override with Limits from Style
When checked, the high and low limits from the selected Style will be used.

Use Style Zero Percent Deadband
When checked, the zero percent high limit and zero percent low limits from the selected Style
will be used.
Zero Percent Low Limit, High Limit
Determines the low limit and high limit for the zero percent deadband from which the percent
will be calculated and the gauge fill will be drawn. These values are not enterable if the
deadband is determined from the Style. The deadband represents the range of values for which
the calculated percent will be zero. More information on how the deadband limits are used in
calculating the percent is given in the Pie Chart Parameters Tab and Gauge Parameters
Tab sections in the Pie Chart/Gauge Style Dialog description.
