Meter Options

The Meter Options Window can be accessed by double-clicking on the Meter object or from the Options Menu.

From the pull-down menu, select which column is to be displayed. The scaling for all meter types can be adjusted.

Digital Meters

The Digital Meter options include a dialog for selecting a column to be monitored. You can change the appearance of the object, including the font and background, in this window.

Guage and Temperature

The Gauge and Temperature options include a dialog for selecting a column to be monitored, a checkbox for hiding the column name, and fields for manually entering the Minimum and Maximum value displayed. Gauge options has a checkbox for Autoscale. When this option is set, the Left and Right on the Gauge are adjusted automatically to keep the value in the display range. Temperature options allows you to add a second axis, thus allowing you to view both Farenheit and Celcius values at the same time.

Short Name

Short Name: The short name (assigned in the Column Options dialog from the Data menu) can be used if there's limited room in the meter object.  If you do not enter a Short Name, a truncated version of the name will be used.
