Scale: This is used to customize the local scale on the Bar Chart widget. In the above example, the input
is a J Type Thermocouple which has an actual scale of -346 to 2192 °F. For this bar chart it has been set
to 0 to 150 to show more detail at the points of interest. It can be changed at any time and only affects
this widget.
Use Chan: This button will fetch the original scale values from the Channel Setup information and insert it
in the scale information. In the above example it will populate the scale with original thermocouple values.
Once scales are set they remain constants with the widget. Any change to the channel will not update the
scales (It will update everything else). The user can update the scales on this widget with this Use
Chan(nel) button.
Alarms: When the Active box is checked the alarms are active for this Channel (2) provided the Master
Enable is set, when not checked the alarms are deactivated for this channel. Pressing the Alarms button
opens the Alarm Setup dialog window. This allows changes to be made to the channel alarm settings
which will affect ALL widgets using this channel. This is a protected option.
Apply: Pressing this button will exit and save any changes made.
Exit: Pressing this button will exit without saving any changes made in THIS dialog box ONLY. If you
used the Setup or Alarms buttons to make changes to the channel information, these are Global and
WILL be saved.
Setup: Pressing this button opens the Channel Setup window. This allows changes to be made
to the channel settings which will affect ALL widgets using this channel. This is a protected
option.
Delete: Pressing this button will DELETE the Bar Chart widget. This will remove it from the
display.
Cancel: Discard all settings and exit.
Accept: Exit with settings intact.
