A Meter object displays the values of data columns on the screen. It is a convenient method of obtaining a visual representation of changing data. It is also a good way to present data to a large group.
Clicking and dragging a resize handle will resize the meter. Double-click on the meter or choose Additional Objects Options > Meter Options from the Options Menu to change the font or which column is to be displayed.
Digital Meter
Digital meters display data in large-sized numbers.
Guage
Gauges point to the current reading along a range you can set in the Gauge Options dialog. The display shows a black needle between Min and Max. When the value is outside the range, the needle is colored red and points outside the valid area. If column has no value, no needle is displayed.
Thermometer
Thermometers display changes in temperature in varying units of measurement.
You can link the minimum and maximum readings from Thermometers or Gauges to your graph's Y-axis by selecting "Group Objects with Common Y-axis" available from the Page menu. When linked in this way any change in the Y-Min or Y-Max of the graph is automatically changed in the Thermometer (left or right limits for the Gauge).
Inserting a gauge or thermometer will automatically group it to the existing graph. Likewise, invoking Logger Lite with a temperature sensor attached will automatically add a thermometer, which will be linked with the graph.
