Figure 46: Dial meter mimic screen

For a given mimic type, the configuration settings may include:

• Variable to display – specifies the channel to display

• Custom variable label – the name of the channel (as set on the logger) can be overridden here

• Update Rate – specifies how often the mimic will request an updated channel value from the logger

• Units – this text string will be displayed in the lower right corner. Typically this would be set to Logger's to

display the channel's units string as specified in the logger program

• Minimum, Maximum, Label Steps – defines step size and extent of graduated scale for those mimic types that

have one (Bar Graph, Thermometer and Dial Meter)

• Upper threshold, Range colour, Lower Threshold – divides the range of the mimic into three bands; a

separate scale or indicator colour can be specified for each band

• Decimal Places – number of digits after the decimal point in channel value when displayed numerically

• Show Measured Value – for mimic types which do not display the numeric channel value as part of their main

graphic, this option allows you to include a small numeric channel value display

• Threshold – for bi-state mimic types (State Indicator and LED), the mimic will be displayed in the "active" state

if the channel value exceeds this threshold value

• Colour – for some mimic types, the colour of the main graphic element can be adjusted. For bi-state mimics,

both the "active" and "inactive" colours can be specified

• Size – for some mimic types, the size of the main graphic element can be adjusted (LED radius, bar graph

width, panel meter font size, etc)

• State Labels – for State Indicator mimics, you can customise the text displayed next to each LED

Once all required mimics have been created and configured, press Save Mimics (top right), which will save your mimic

setup to a file on the logger.

Saved mimics will be automatically reloaded whenever you connect to the logger using the web interface and display the

Mimics screen.

Note: only one mimic configuration can be stored on the logger. When you press Save Mimics, any previously stored mimic

configuration will be overwritten.
