Create a linear gauge

Create a linear gauge

Create a linear gauge that shows the temperature.
  1. In
    Properties
    , right-click
    MainWindow (type)
     and select
    New
    Base controls
    Linear gauge
    .
  2. In
    Properties
    , set the
    Editable
     variable value to
    False
    .
  3. Create a variable:
    1. In
      Properties
      , at the top, select
      Add
       and select
      Analog variable
      .
    2. Create a complex dynamic link between the
      AnalogVariable1
       property and the actual
      AnalogVariable1
       variable by using binding mode.
      DynamicLink
      ProjectName
      Model
      AnalogVariable1
      EU Mode
      Localize.
    3. Create a dynamic link between
      Low limit
       and
      ProjectName
      Model
      AnalogVariable1
      EURange
      Low limit
    4. Create a dynamic link between
      High limit
       and
      ProjectName
      Model
      AnalogVariable1
      EURange
      Low limit
    5. Set
      Constrain
       to
      True
      .

  4. Link the variable alias:
    1. In
      Properties
      , create a dynamic link between
      Value
       and
      ProjectName
      UI
      MainWindow (type)
      LinearGauge1
      AnalogVariable1
      .
    2. Create a dynamic link between
      Minimum value
       and
      ProjectName
      UI
      MainWindow (type)
      LinearGauge1
      AnalogVariable1
      EURange
      Low
      .
    3. Create a dynamic link between
      Maximum value
       and
      ProjectName
      UI
      MainWindow (type)
      LinearGauge1
      AnalogVariable1
      EURange
      High
      .
