Create a linear gauge

Create a linear gauge that shows the temperature.

  1. In Properties, right-click MainWindow (type) and select New > Base controls > Linear gauge.
  2. In Properties, set the Editable variable value to False.
  3. Create a variable:
    1. In Properties, at the top, select Add and select Analog variable.
    2. Create a complex dynamic link between the AnalogVariable1 property and the actual AnalogVariable1 variable by using binding mode.
      DynamicLink
      ProjectName > Model > AnalogVariable1
      EU Mode
      Localize.
    3. Create a dynamic link between Low limit and ProjectName > Model > AnalogVariable1 > EURange > Low limit
    4. Create a dynamic link between High limit and ProjectName > Model > AnalogVariable1 > EURange > Low limit
    5. Set Constrain to True.

  4. Link the variable alias:
    1. In Properties, create a dynamic link between Value and ProjectName > UI > MainWindow (type) > LinearGauge1 > AnalogVariable1.
    2. Create a dynamic link between Minimum value and ProjectName > UI > MainWindow (type) > LinearGauge1 > AnalogVariable1 > EURange > Low.
    3. Create a dynamic link between Maximum value and ProjectName > UI > MainWindow (type) > LinearGauge1 > AnalogVariable1 > EURange > High.
