System information

Linear Gauge
This element represents a linear gauge in a vertical or horizontal orientation. It allows you to display information for
a Metasys item (for example, zone temperature and zone temperature setpoint) within an analog bar and to send a
command to the item. Depending on the orientation of the gauge, the minimum range is specified on the bottom or
left and the maximum range is specified on the top or right. A value box appears at the bottom of the gauge. The
divider bar is positioned within the gauge according to the current value of the bound item.

The Linear Gauge element has the following runtime characteristics:
• It may display the current value of the bound item in a value box below the gauge.
• It may display the status of the bound item as the color of the gauge.
• It may display the unit of measurement used for the bound attribute value.
• It may display a background around the units and value.
• It may display the upper and lower ranges of the bound item within the analog bar graph.
• It displays a tooltip showing the textual value of the bound item and its status.
• It represents the current value of the bound item within the analog bar area of the element. For binary items, a
value of False is represented as 0 and a value of True is represented as 1. State 1, State 2, and State 3 values
are represented as 1, 2, and 3 (respectively).
• It displays the maximum value defined for the gauge if the current value of the bound item is above the maximum
value.
• It displays the minimum value defined for the gauge if the current value of the bound item is below the minimum
value.
• It displays a User Actions Panel (with a right-click) when displayed within the Site Management Portal, SCT, or
the Ready Access Portal. See User Actions Panel.
