Configure a basic SA_BulletGraph symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of a SA_BulletGraph symbol is oriented horizontally with the qualitative range of goodness set to the high end of the chart bar. The symbol is enabled for Alarm Border animation with an alarm indicator and shows a complete set of labels.

Only one custom property must be assigned a reference value. All other quantitative aspects of the symbol are assigned default values. Optional labels can be assigned as part of the basic configuration of the symbol.

Prerequisites

This procedure explains how to configure a basic symbol using a reference to an ArchestrA object attribute.

• To follow the steps of this procedure, create an ArchestrA object that meets the following requirements:

  • Create an Analog field attribute

  • Enable I/O scaling with the input clamped to the EU range

  • Enable limit alarms with limits specified for HiHi, Hi, Lo, and LoLo alarms

• Create an InTouch application with a window to verify that the symbol has been configured correctly.

To configure a basic SA_BulletGraph Symbol using ArchestrA attributes

1. Embed the symbol in another symbol in the Industrial Graphic Editor.

7. Save the symbol and check it in.

8. Deploy the Galaxy containing the object with attributes that are used as reference values of the custom properties.

9. Double-click an instance of InTouch ViewApp to start WindowMaker.

10. Create a new InTouch window and embed the symbol containing the symbol.

11. Run the application in WindowViewer to verify that your basic symbol configuration works correctly.
