Configure a basic SA_TargetGraph symbol using InTouch tags

The basic configuration of the SA_TargetGraph symbol shows measured values compared to their corresponding target setpoints in a circular graph. The symbol provides a Wizard option to set the number of variables from three to five, which appear as segments or pie slices.

Setpoints appear as a ring centered around the origin of the target graph. When all measured values are near their setpoints, the ring is black. When a measured value deviates beyond a setpoint tolerance range, the ring turns yellow to indicate an abnormal state.

To configure a basic symbol, you need to assign InTouch tags to the VariableX and SetpointX custom properties for each slice. For the sake of simplicity, this example shows the basic configuration steps using only three slices.

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

Prerequisites

Create or use existing Real InTouch tags as the reference values to be assigned to the VariableX and SetpointX custom properties. You can also assign static values to the SetpointX custom properties.

To configure a basic SA_TargetGraph symbol

1. Drag and drop the symbol in a WindowMaker window.

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

3. Select the Wizard options tab and set the NumberOfVariables Wizard option to Three.

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

5. Assign InTouch tags as the reference values of the VariableX and SetpointX custom properties.

6. If you want, select WindowMaker's Substitute Strings feature to assign labels to the symbol.

7. Run the application containing the symbol in WindowViewer to verify that your basic configuration is correct.
