How the bar graph works at runtime

The bar graph increases and decreases in size to reflect the value of the

Value

connection at the data source. The bar graph’s behavior at runtime also depends on how you set up thresholds and controls.

Using thresholds

If you set up thresholds for the bar graph, when the value of the Value connection is at or above the threshold value, the color of the fill changes (if you set up different fill colors in the General tab). You can also configure the section of the bar graph at or above the threshold level to blink.

Using controls

If you do not assign the Value connection, the bar graph displays the minimum value.

Opening graphic displays

When you open a display at runtime, the application reads the value of the Value connection and updates the bar graph based on the value.
