Changing the display settings for analog parameters

You can specify whether analog parameters are displayed as a LED bar or as an oscilloscope:

• by right-clicking the parameter and selecting LED bar or Oscilloscope, or

• by determining the preferred display mode in the user settings. See Data Display settings.

LED bar

A LED bar shows the current value of a parameter on a scale that represents its entire range.

If the parameter is being monitored, different parts of the LED bar will be colored:

• the current value

• the different alarm thresholds at the bottom of the LED bar

If the parameter is not being monitored, all these parts will be white.

Oscilloscope

An oscilloscope shows the evolution of a parameter value on a time scale.

• On the X-axis, you can find the beginning and the end of the displayed time span, as well as the total duration of that time span.

• On the Y-axis, you can find the units, as well as the minimum and maximum value of the oscilloscope’s range.

• New values enter the oscilloscope from the right.

• When the parameter is monitored, vertical colored bars will appear to indicate when a parameter was in a certain alarm state.
