Tachometer - Hand Mode (HND)

General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Mode options are Hand / Donut Mix Color / Donut Discolor / Icon Rotation / Icon Open / Pseudo Icon Rotation / Pseudo Icon Open Direction options Clockwise / CounterClockwise Start Angle is the angular location of the min value Sweep Angle is the effective angular area that relatively begin form the Start Angle for sensing
Background Marking & Label Enable can generate the meter face details Base Color, Label, Minor Marking can be enable and define at here Label Min Value and Label Max Value is for meter face display only. It show beside the Major Marking
Foreground Hands Type options are Line / Quadrangle / Trangle Hands Color is for the pointer hand color Center Mark Color is color at the center of the meter
Rotation Center Point Rotation Center options are Auto / Advance Rotation Center X, Y define the the rotation reference point
Content VP Resource is the type of VP to be used VP Address is the VP for the operation Min Value is the bottom value that can be shown (value smaller than this value will stop at the min location) Max Value is the top value that can be shown (value larger than this value will stop at the max location)
Properties Control (advance feature) Enable VP is none by default (element operate normally) Select a VP for real time element control. VP value will set to 1 as enable at power-on. It can be disabled (hidden) by a zero value Base Color VP, Hands Color VP, Center Mark Color VP, Major Marking Color VP, Minor Marking Color VP and Label Color VP are none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time base color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on
Hands Type VP, is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time base color adjustment VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on
Preview Preview Value is only for displaying text in SGTools environment

Tachometer - (Pseudo) Icon Mode (TCM)

General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Mode options are Hand / Donut Mix Color / Donut Discolor / Icon Rotation / Icon Open / Pseudo Icon Rotation / Pseudo Icon Open Direction options Clockwise / CounterClockwise Start Angle is the angular location of the min value Sweep Angle is the effective angular area that relatively begin form the Start Angle for sensing
Foreground Icon select an icon to be rotate Transparent = False by default True: enable transparent effect to show the IMG_ICO Auto: enable transparent effect and pick a high possible color as Transparent color Transparent Color assign one color in the IMG_ICO that show as transparent suggested to use pure color for transparent effect (e.g. pure-magenta pure-black, pure-white, etc…) Icon Center options are Auto / Advance Icon Center X, Y define the the icon rotation reference
Rotation Center Point Rotation Center could be Icon Center (auto select) or by manual Rotation Center X, Y define the the rotation reference point
Content VP Resource is the type of VP to be used VP Address is the VP for the operation Min Value is the bottom value that can be shown (value smaller than this value will hide the tachometer) Max Value is the top value that can be shown (value bigger than this value will hide the tachometer)
Properties Control (advance feature) Enable VP is none by default (element operate normally) Select a VP for real time element control. VP value will set to 1 as enable at power-on. It can be disabled (hidden) by a zero value Transparent color VP is none by default (using the above selected color) Select a VP for real time transparent color change. VP value will copy the above selected color at power-on. Transparent VP is none by default (using the above option) Select a VP for real time transparent background control. VP value will copy the above transparent config at power-on. It can be enabled by a non-zero value or disable by a zero Icon VP is none by default (using the above selected font) Select a VP for real time IMG_ICON change. VP value will copy the above IMG_ICO ID at power-on.

Note
*1 Pseudo Icon Mode is similar to Icon Mode. It shows the Icon that pre-combined with background.
*2 Pseudo Icon Mode is similar to Icon Open Mode. It shows the Icon angle section that pre-combined with background

Tachometer - Donut Mode (R16, R32)

General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Mode options are Hand / Donut Mix Color / Donut Discolor / Icon Rotation / Icon Open / Pseudo Icon Rotation / Pseudo Icon Open Direction options Clockwise / CounterClockwise Start Angle is the angular location of the min value Sweep Angle is the effective angular area that relatively begin form the Start Angle for sensing
Background Show Base Color show the Donut shape background even at min value (in Mix Color Mode, Background color is the Gap color) Base Color is the Donut background color (Mix Color Mode, Background color is the Gap color) Internal Radius define the middle hole of the Donut Edge Width can selected as an outline over the Donut
Foreground Step Width is for adjust display Levels color size Gap Width is for adjust the display Levels color gap which show Base Color No.Of Levels 2 for Donut Mix Color Mode show a gradient mix of two color 3-26 for Donut Discolor Mode change the whole donut color w.r.t. VP value
Rotation Center Rotation Center could be Icon Center (auto select) or by manual Rotation Center X, Rotation Center Y define the is the rotation reference point
Content VP Resource is the type of VP hold the content (VP_N16 by default) VP Address is the VP that hold the value Min Value is the minimum tachometer value to be show (value smaller than this value will hide the tachometer) Max Value is the maximum tachometer value to be show (value bigger than this value will hide the tachometer)
Properties Control (advance feature) Enable VP is none by default (element operate normally) Select a VP for real time element control. VP value will set to 1 as enable at power-on. It can be disabled (hidden) by a zero value. Color Array VP is for changing the color for visual effect VP value will copy the above selected Color at power-on.

Progress Bar (B16)

General Show the basic information of the element X and Y is the location of element on screen, reference point is element top-left corner Width and Height are in pixels top-left corner of the screen = 0,0
Style Mode options are Color Mode, longer color bar could be show with a no. close to max (bar color could also be a mix of Forecolor1 & 2) Icon Mode, Icon will move to the far end with a no. close to max Fill Icon Mode, bar color could be replaced by an IMG_ICO Direction options are L->R / R->L / Up->Dn / Dn->Up Forecolor1 Progress start color Forecolor2 Progress end color Transparent False by default True: enable transparent effect to show the IMG_ICO Gap/Transparent Color function depends on mode selected In Fill Color Mode, the selected color is gap color in the Progress Bar In Icon Mode with Transparent Enabled, the selected color in the IMG_ICO will show as transparent. (it is suggested to use pure color for transparent effect)(e.g. pure-magenta pure-black, pure-white, etc…) Gap Width is in pixel for gap in the bar Step Width is in pixel for the distance between gap
