Meter

The numerical value is expressed in meters.

The device sets the device that stores numerical values.

• Value
  Specifies the first device that stores the target numerical value.
• Value type
  Specifies the type of number or character represented by the device.
• Unsigned
  Treat it as a 16-bit unsigned integer.
• Signed
  Treat it as a 16-bit signed integer.
• HEX
  Treat it as a 16-bit unsigned integers as hexadecimal numbers.
• BCD
  Treat it as a 16-bit unsigned integer representing BCD numbers.
• Unsigned(DWORD)
  Treat it as a 32-bit unsigned integer.
• Signed(DWORD)
  Treat it as a 32-bit signed integer.
• HEX(DWORD)
  Treat it as a 32-bit unsigned integers as hexadecimal numbers.
• BCD(DWORD)
  Treat it as a 32-bit unsigned integer representing BCD numbers.
• Float
  Treat it as a 32-bit single-precision floating point.
• Visibility
  Specify whether to show or hide the button. See Common Properties.

Set the number of digits for numbers, characters, etc.

• Coefficient, offset
  Coefficients and offsets can be used to scale conversion from device values to values to be displayed, which is equivalent to the slope and intercept of a linear function.
  The coefficient is multiplied by the device value; then the offset is added, and the number is displayed. The number entered at runtime is written to the device with the offset subtracted, and the result is multiplied by the reciprocal of the coefficient.
• Number of decimal places
  Specify the number of decimal places. If the coefficient is not set, a coefficient that matches the number of digits is automatically applied.

Units can be added for numerical values.

• Unit
  Enter the symbols and letters that will be used as units.

For numerical values, the range of input values can be restricted at runtime; numerical values read from the PLC are unaffected and are displayed as they are.

• Minimum
  If a direct value is selected, enter the minimum value.
  When a device is selected, the specified device's value is treated as the minimum value.
  If a number smaller than the minimum value specified at runtime is entered, it is adjusted to the minimum value.
  
• Maximum
  If a direct value is selected, enter the maximum value.
  When a device is selected, the specified device's value is treated as the maximum value.
  If a number smaller than the maximum value specified at runtime is entered, it is adjusted to the maximum value.
  

By direct value

By device

The scale is used to set the meter's scale accurately.

• Major
  Specifies the number of divisions from the minimum to the maximum value of the scale display.
  If a direct value is selected, the entered value is used; if a device is specified, the device's value is utilized.
• Minor
  If a direct value is selected, the entered value is used; if a device is specified, the device value is utilized.
  This specifies the number of divisions within the major, presented at a glance.
• Figures
  If a direct value is selected, the entered value is used; if a device is specified, the device value is applied.
  This specifies how many places on the scale, divided by the major divisions, a numeric label should be drawn.

You can specify fonts for numbers, letters, and units. Refer to the Labels and Buttons section for more information on these settings.

Press the 123 icon on the top toolbar to change the value used for the preview.

• Number
  Sets the value to be used for the number in the preview. The value is treated as a device value and is displayed with digit settings, etc., applied to this value.
