To configure a basic SA_RPMMeter symbol

1. Drop the SA_RPMMeter symbol in a WindowMaker window or embed it in a symbol from the ArchestrA IDE.

2. Show the default set of Wizard options of the SA_RPMMeter symbol.

   • For standalone applications developed in WindowMaker, double-click the symbol to show the Edit Symbol Properties dialog box. Click the Wizard options tab to show the defaults.

   • For managed applications developed in the ArchestrA IDE, click the embedded SA_RPMMeter symbol to show the list of defaults in the Wizard options list at the right of the canvas.

     You do not need to make any changes to the default Wizard options.

3. Show the default list of SA_RPMMeter symbol custom properties.

   • From WindowMaker, click the Custom Properties tab to show the default custom properties.

   • From the ArchestrA IDE, right-click the symbol and select Custom Properties from the shortcut menu to show the defaults in the Custom Properties dialog box.

4. Assign a reference value to the PV custom property and click OK.

   • For standalone applications, assign an InTouch tagname to the PV custom property.

   • For managed applications, assign an object attribute to the PV custom property.

5. Assign static or reference values to the PVRangeFullScaleMax and PVRangeFullScaleMin custom properties.

   These two custom properties set the lower and upper limits of the range on a symbol's meter bar in which scale marks appear.

6. Assign string values to the symbol's label and engineering units of its measured value.

   • For standalone applications, right-click the symbol, select Substitute, and select Substitute Strings.

   • For managed applications, right-click the symbol, select Substitute, and select Substitute Strings.

7. Enter string values for EU and Label.

8. Run the application containing the SA_RPMMeter symbol in WindowViewer to verify that your configuration changes are correct.
