UBALDO GONZALEZ: This video will show you how to do graph
indicators and also how to
control screen one, screen two
or screen two to screen one. So, the first thing I want to do is go
click on my screen and go to our
where it says "objects." Now go to screen select
and click on "go to" and
put that icon on the bottom of the screen right
here. Now double-click and I want to
go to screen two. Alright, so now we'll
come over here on the left, double click on screen two
and do the same thing. Add another screen selector
and do a "go to."
Double-click on the "go to" icon and
select screen one and click "ok."
You can go back and change your colors a little bit later if you want
to. Again, you can click right here.
Click your "enter text" icon. Now go to
format and go foreground is in white
background is in blue. So, I'm going to change my background to black
and "format" again
If you notice, this time I do not have my
"enter" text selected. So, I'm just going to go straight to
format. This time the background color is already in blue.
When I hit black, it changes this right here.
I'm going to leave it like this, for right now.
Now, I want to show you how to
add the two graphs that's going to be in screen two
So, double-click your screen two, go to objects, and go to
graph indicators. And we're going to do a bar graph
Right here.
Also, we're going to do a
gauge graph
OK, your gauge is going to represent your valve
and your
bar is going to represent your tank.
Double-click on your bar graph and
what you want to do... the tag
sheet that your instructor gives you should have a minimum
and max range. So, for my bar graph
it happens to be 16383 for max
Read tag, that's going to be
the actual water level
OK
Edit tag. Everything is already displayed like it's supposed to
Your data entry limits you can leave as
default but I would like to change that to my max also.
Click "ok"... click "ok"
Now, let's do the gauge. Over here
you want to read tag to the bottom
and this is going to be my valve, right here.
And minimum and max for the valve
happens to be zero to
16383. My angle
happens to be how far does
the circle go back. This is negative 135
all the way to positive 135. So, if I change
this, you should see
that go up a little bit.
Same thing with this one. Which you can see this
and what this will do, this will allow us to put a text right below
this graph or this gauge to indicate open
or closed. Once you select
this, click "ok." You can also change
your thicknesses. You can go to
from five go to two. If you notice, your needle got
thinner, which I kind of like that.
Measure ticks is how many of these you have. One, two, three, four, five, six
seven, eight, nine, ten...eleven right here.
I'm going to leave that as is.
Minor ticks, you could have five for example
Click "ok" now you put five per major
So, I'm going to just put one
and it looks like this but this is just optional.
Right here. Click "ok."
Now I want to insert a text inside this box.
Click the icon again.
Now select your inner text and over here in this box type in this word
"open closed"
As if you notice, I can push space and it
causes this to open or open apart
Hit this, puts it in the middle and that one puts it on the bottom.
So, now I have a gauge that reads open on the left
and closed on the right. And you can go back
and change your colors, just like you did with the previous objects.
Double-click right here.
And go to format. It's the easiest way to change colors on
these. Go to format, foreground color
as white, background color is blue. I'm going to change it to
black, for example. And I want to make this
since it is going to indicate water, I'm just going to do a light blue.
Go back to format, go to foreground color is white
So, I'm going to change it to a light cyan
just like this.
I'm going to do the same thing with the gauge
I need to do format instead. Foreground
color is white, which is the letters and the background
color I'm going to change it to black
and also, I want to do the text. So, hit "inner text"
Now, if I go to format
my background color represents my text. So, I'm going to
change that to black to make it match the background
object. Now, I can leave this
as a square or I can make this as a circle.
If you click right here, go to format, and go to shape.
Change it to a circle. There you have just nothing but a circle.
That's just your preference on that.
I'm going to leave it as a square and
that should be everything right here
and again, you can always go back and play with your different colors.
I'm going to click right here, do format and go to foreground
and go with a light green. Just to give it a little
contrast. That should
do this. The next video, I'm going to show you how to do
data entry and numeric data displays.
