SA_ValveOutput is a support symbol intended to be integrated with valve symbols as an output control meter. The symbol includes a Discrete Wizard option to configure the symbol as a discrete or variable valve.

When configured as an analog valve, the symbol includes Wizard options to show commanded values and numerical percentages on the output control meter. The symbol also provides custom properties to set the physical appearance of the head and output bar symbol components using ArchestrA Element Styles.
Symbol exceptions
The SA_ValveOutput symbol has no known exceptions or limitations.
Symbol components
The symbol components shown by the SA_ValveOutput symbol are largely determined by the Discrete Wizard option. A discrete valve output control meter can determine closed/open actuator positions and show the appropriate state of the valve. An analog valve output control meter includes additional symbol components for output measured values, commanded output, a setpoint, and numerical output percentages.
Wizard options
The symbol includes four Wizard options
