Configure a basic SA_StackedColumnChart symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of the SA_StackedColumnChart symbol shows ten chart bars with a legend, a chart heading, and axis descriptions. Each chart bar consists of four measured values that are stacked bar segments differentiated by fill color.

To configure a basic symbol, you need to assign attribute values to the BarXXA, BarXXB, BarXXC, and BarXXD custom properties for each chart bar. For the sake of simplicity, this example shows the basic configuration steps using only two chart bars.

Optional strings can be assigned to the symbol's chart heading, axis descriptions, and legend descriptions using the Substitute Strings feature.

Prerequisites

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

• Create analog attributes as Float data types.

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

To configure a basic SA_StackedColumnChart symbol

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

2. Select the symbol.

3. Show the symbol's list of Wizard options at the right of the Industrial Graphic Editor window.

4. Set the NumberOfBars Wizard option to Two.

5. Right-click on the symbol and select Custom Properties to show the Custom Properties dialog box.

6. Assign reference values to the Bar01A custom properties and click OK.

   1. Select the Bar01A custom property from the list and click the Galaxy Browser button to the right of the Default Value field.

   2. Click the Attribute Browser tab and select an attribute from the list to assign to the custom property.

   3. Assign a reference values to the remaining Bar01X custom properties by repeating steps 6a and 6b.

7. Repeat steps 6a through 6d to assign values to the Bar02X custom properties.

8. If you want, assign optional string values to the symbol's labels.

   4. Right-click on the symbol, select Substitute, and then select Substitute Strings.

   5. Enter string values into the fields of the Substitute Strings dialog box that match the default strings shown for the symbol and click OK.

9. Save the symbol and check it in.

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

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

12. Embed the symbol containing the symbol in an InTouch window.

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