-
Flow: Measured flow is represented by a floating ball that moves the length of a linear scaled meter bar.
-
Temperature: Temperature appears as fill animation that resembles the movement of mercury in a glass bulb like a traditional thermometer.
-
Pressure: Measured pressure is represented by a filled rectangle that moves the length of a linear scaled oval meter bar.
-
Target: Measured value is represented by a bulls eye that moves the length of a linear scale on a meter bar.
-
Analyzer: Measured value is represented by a bold rectangle that moves the length of a linear scale on a meter bar with a curved bottom and top.
-
Miscellaneous: A measured value appears as fill animation that moves the length of a linear scaled rectangular meter bar.
-
Deviation: A deviation meter shows the deviation of a measured value from a setpoint. Fill animation shows the absolute deviation from the setpoint on a rectangular meter bar. A deviation meter symbol includes two additional custom properties to configure a setpoint line on the meter.
-
Level: Measured level appears as fill animation that moves the length of a linear scaled rectangular meter bar.
