Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.

When defining Styles for AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics objects, you can configure the format used for numeric values in display animations. You can define the value range, precision, and whether or not a number has a fixed width.

Default format styles are available for six numeric value types. You can also configure and rename up to 25 user-defined format styles. You can use the Edit Animations dialog in the Industrial Graphics Editor to apply a format style to an analog Value Display animation.

To configure format styles for value display animations:

1. In the Standards activity, select Styles.

2. On the Styles Configuration dialog, select Edit. The Configure Styles dialog will appear.

3. Select the Format Styles tab.

   

4. In the Format Style panel, select the style you would like to modify.

   If you select a user-defined style, you can double click on it to rename it, or right-click and select Rename.

5. Specify the type of value in the Formatting as field.

6. Define the level of Precision or the number of bits used for the selected value type using the fields that are displayed. For example, if you have selected Real in the Formatting As field, you need to specify the Precision used for each Value Range.

7. If required, select Fixed Width.

8. Under Special Characters to show at Runtime, specify the characters that you would like to use to indicate Bad Quality with No Value and Value Too Large for Fixed Field. You can only specify one character for each.

9. If required, select the Reset to Default button to return the selected format style to its default state.

10. Click OK to close the Configure Styles dialog.

    Note: If the Industrial Graphics Editor is currently open, style configuration changes will not appear until after the editor has been restarted.
