Configure a basic SA_BoxChart symbol using InTouch tags

The basic configuration of a SA_BoxChart symbol shows a chart consisting of 10 chart bars oriented vertically. Each chart bar is assigned an individual measured value, an average, a maximum value, and a minimum value.

For the sake of simplicity, this procedure shows how to configure a simple chart symbol consisting of only two chart bars.

Prerequisites

This procedure explains how to configure a basic symbol using references to InTouch tags.

• You must have the following data sources to graphically represent these values with this symbol.

  • Measured value

  • Average value

  • Maximum value

  • Minimum value

    Note: If you do not have the InTouch data, you can enter static values for the average, maximum, and minimum custom properties to see how this data is graphically represented by the symbol.

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

To configure a basic SA_BoxChart symbol

1. Drop the symbol in a WindowMaker window.

2. Double-click on the symbol to show the Edit Symbol Properties dialog box.

3. Click the Wizard options tab and set NumberOfBars to Two.

4. Click the Custom Properties tab to show the default custom properties.

5. Assign InTouch tags to the Bar01 and Bar02 custom properties.

   1. Click the Browse Galaxy button to the right of the Default Value field to show the Select Tag dialog box.

   2. Assign an InTouch tag as the reference value of the Bar01 custom property.

   3. Assign another InTouch tag as the reference value of the Bar02 custom property.

6. Assign static values for each chart bar's average, maximum, and minimum custom properties.

7. Save your changes.

8. Run the application containing the symbol in WindowViewer to verify that your configuration changes are correct.
