FactoryTalkView ME How to create a bar graph scale with arrow indicator

[KingPresident]

I saw a post on here about a year ago, or more. It detailed how draw a rectangle, and assign the entire scaled range of a dint to the desired bargraph[rectangle], then overlay the desired hi/low(set points) of the acceptable range, and then the Arrow Pointer.

I have windows and setpoints that the techs need to be able to see and reason with. Can someone with a better memory find that thread?

Come on smart guys...

Arrow = air pressure level

White bar = full range of sensor

blue bar = ok to process setpoints window

How do I make the Arrow move linearly[vertically] when linked to the air pressure value?

I think you would use the "Vertical Position" animation to move the arrow. Open up some PlantPAx objects and see how they're doing it. You might be able to copy most of it and change the tags to fit your program.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check that.
