SYSTEM PRIMITIVES
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
• The Major Divisions property is used to indicate into how many major divisions
the scale should be divided. Large tick-marks are drawn at each division. The
lowest number of major divisions is one, in which case large tick-marks will be
drawn at the extremes of the scale, but not along its arc.
• The Minor Divisions property is used to indicate into how many minor divisions
each major division should be divided. Smaller tick-marks are drawn at each
division. Selecting a value of one for this property will disable minor divisions.
The second page defines various formatting options…
• The Text Format properties are used to define the font to be used to display the
optional data value and data label, and the colors to be used for the text. In
addition, a property is provided to define whether the font should be opaque, or
whether the pointer should be visible through the text.
• The Fill Format properties are used to define the background color of the dial,
and the color to be used to draw the interior of the pointer and the scale
tick-marks. Fill Color 1 defines the background; Fill Color 2 the other items.
• The Line Format property is used to define the color of the lines used to demark
the pointer, the scale tick-marks and the outline of the dial gauge itself.
The third page is used to define the optional label, and the minimum and maximum values,
and the data format for the optional data value. This page functions as was previously
described for integer data tags, and you are referred to that section for further details.
