Create bar graphs

Use the bar graph object to show a control’s value at the data source. The bar graph increases or decreases in size to show the changing value. You can configure thresholds for the bar graph to alert the operator to error conditions.

To create a bar graph

  1. In the Graphics Display editor, select Gauge and Graph > Bar Graph from the Objects menu.
  2. Drag the mouse to position and draw a rectangle the general size and location you want the bar graph to be.
  3. Double-click the bar graph to open its Properties dialog box.
  4. In the Properties dialog box, specify how the bar graph looks, its thresholds, and its tags.
