Wind direction graphic

The wind direction graphic presents real-time data about wind direction compiled from AVEVA industrial systems. The rotating compass needle points to the direction the wind is coming from and displays the wind direction in degrees.

Example

The following wind direction graphic shows the wind coming from the northeast at 75 degrees.

Configure the graphic

Configure the following properties for this graphic:

• Follow asset context - The asset context affects properties that are configured to display asset stream ref data and asset metadata. When this is enabled:

  • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's asset context. For details, see Create a new visualization.

  • If this content is in an experience, it uses the navigation item's asset reference. For details, see the Add content to a pane section in Add content to panes in your navigation items.

• Follow time context - When this is enabled:

  • If this content is in a visualization, it uses the visualization's time context as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Create a new visualization.

  • If this content is in an experience, it uses the time selected in the time selector content item as the time range for the data it displays. For details, see Add a time selector.

• Time - If Follow time context is disabled, select the time range for the data displayed in the content item.

• In the Options section:

  • Statistics - The retrieval mode for the graphic.

    If Current is selected, configure the DataPoint property for each data point. If another option is selected, configure the DataPointReference.

    See Understand retrieval mode for details.

  • Color1 - The color for the low range from the Min value to the MaxLimitColor1 value.

  • Color2 - The color for the middle range from the MaxLimitColor1 value to the MaxLimitColor2 value.

  • ShowTitleAs - Enables the Title property in the Graphic Properties section to set the graphic title and sets the font size. This title appears on the screen with the graphic.

    Title is a larger font. Subtitle is a smaller font.

  • ShowCard - Displays a colored background behind the graphic.

  • Simulation - Displays test data for the graphic.

    If enabled, the Statistics and DataPoint properties are not available and the SimMax, SimMin, and SimPeriod properties are available.

• In the Graphic Properties section:

  • DataPoint - The data point or value for the graphic.

    This is available when Statistics is Current and Simulation is disabled. If another option is selected, configure the DataPointReference. To select a data stream, select the field and then select the pencil icon. In the DataPoint window, select Streams. In the Search window, use the filters to find and then select the stream, asset stream reference, or asset metadata to display.

  • SimMax - The highest simulated value for the graphic, when Simulation is enabled.

    Default is 100. This value must be greater than the SimMin value.

  • SimMin - The lowest simulated value for the graphic, when Simulation is enabled.

    Default is 0. This value must be less than the SimMax value.

  • SimPeriod - The simulation refresh period, in seconds, from 1 to 60.

    This is available when Simulation is enabled.

• In the Advanced tab:

  • Title - The title displayed for this content item in the grid visualization.

    This is not available in a canvas visualization or experience. Set this value in the Title property in the Graphic Properties section.
