Configure a basic SA_BarChart symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of a SA_BarChart symbol shows a chart consisting of 10 chart bars oriented horizontally. Each chart bar is assigned an individual measured 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 ArchestrA attributes.

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

  • Includes two Analog PV field attributes

  • 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_BarChart 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 by at the right of the Industrial Graphic Editor window.

4. Set NumberOfBars 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 BarXX custom properties and click OK.

   1. Select the Bar01 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 and assign to the custom property.

   3. Repeat these steps to assign an attribute to Bar02.

7. Save the symbol and check it in.

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

9. Double-click an instance of InTouchViewApp to start WindowMaker.

10. From WindowMaker, embed the symbol containing the SA_BarChart symbol into an InTouch window.

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