CONFIGURING THE COLOR VIRTUAL HMI
PRIMITIVE DESCRIPTIONS
• The Show Label property is used to indicate whether a label should be included
with the bar-graph. For vertical graphs, the label is included at the bottom; for
horizontal graphs, it is included at the left-hand side. If a tag is used for the value
property, the label may be obtained from that tag. Otherwise, it must be entered
on the Format tab of the dialog box.
• The Show Value property is used to indicate whether the value of the data should
be displayed within the graph itself. If a tag of the appropriate data type is used
for the value property, the format may be obtained from the tag. Otherwise, as
with the label, it must be entered on the Format tab.
• The Show Setpoint property is used to indicate whether tick marks should be
added either side of the bar to indicate the setpoint for the controlling value. This
option is only available if a tag has been entered for the value field.
• The Flash on Alarm property is used to indicate whether or not you want the text
on the Master’s display to flash if the tag entered in the value property is
currently in an alarm state. This property is not available for those primitives that
have a non-tag value defined for the value property.
• The Value Background property is used to indicate whether the value should be
drawn with a solid or transparent background. The choice of format will
typically depend upon the visibility of the value against the bar itself.
• The Get From Tag properties are used to indicate from where the label text, the
field format and the text colors should be obtained. The options presented
depend on what was entered for the Value property. In each case, you may
manually enter the data in the appropriate properties, or, assuming a suitable
expression has been defined, you may instruct the primitive to get the required
information from the underlying data tag.
