Configure a basic SA_OutputBar symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of a SA_OutputBar symbol is an variable control output bar oriented horizontally. Three custom properties need to be configured to show fill animation along the length of the bar.

Prerequisites

To follow the steps of this procedure, create an ArchestrA object that meet the following requirements:

• Create a Double OP field attribute to represent the output value shown on the bar.

  Note: Static values of 100 and 0 will be assigned to the OPMax and OPMin custom properties to set a range of possible OP values.

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