Configure a basic SA_ParallelCoordinatesChart symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of the SA_ParallelCoordinatesChart symbol shows a chart oriented horizontally and a percentage range (0-100) as the Y-axis. The X axis shows 10 variables that are connected by line segments to show a variable line.

To configure a basic symbol, you need to assign references to the VariableXX custom properties. For the sake of simplicity, this example uses only two variables to show the basic configuration steps.

Prerequisites

To demonstrate how to create a basic symbol using ArchestrA attributes, create a UserDefined object with the following properties:

• Create two analog attributes as Float data types.

• Enable I/O scaling and clamp to the EU range.

• Use the default values for the custom properties that set the maximum and minimum limits of a variable.

To configure a basic SA_ParallelCoordinatesChart symbol using ArchestrA attributes

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

2. Select the symbol and view the list of Wizard options at the right of the Industrial Graphic Editor.

3. Set NumberOfVariables to Two.

4. Right click on the symbol and select Custom Properties to show the list of custom properties.

5. Select Variable01 from the list of custom properties.

6. Click the Browse Galaxy button to the right of the Default Value field and select the Attribute Browser tab.

7. Select as attribute from the list and click OK to assign it as the reference value of the Variable01 custom property.

8. Keep the default values of the Variable01Max and Variable01Min custom properties.

9. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the set of Variable02 custom properties.

10. Save the symbol and check it in.

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

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

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

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