Capacity

The Capacity widget allows you to select and display a value for an individual signal and total remaining capacity. The signal can be displayed as either an absolute value (e.g. 0oC - 220oC) or as a percentage (e.g. 0-100%).

Note

The capacity widget can only display positive values.

Configuration

  2. Select the desired widget. A preview will be shown.

  3. Click Apply. This forwards you to the widget configuration dialog with the options described below.
