Target
Moniker
This is the variable to which you put your widget data and/
or from which you get your widget data. It is the variable
that is associated with the widget.
Clicking the Ellipsis icon gives a list of available
options, including any variables of type Real Number or
Enumeration that you have created in the Object Manager.
Orientation The radio button selection in this group provides
instructions on how to draw the graphical portion of the
widget. The choices are:
• Horizontal. The line representing the current value in
the range will be vertical. The use of Horizontal stems
from the fact that the ‘used’ portion and ‘unused’
portion of the range are seen one beside the other.
• Vertical. The line representing the current value in
the range will be horizontal. The use of Vertical stems
from the fact that the ‘used’ portion and ‘unused’
portion of the range are seen one above the other.
Increment Enter a value here which is used as the incremental step
size when the current value pointer is dragged in the level
widget. For the OP cell in a face plate, you can click on the
current value (when the controller is in Manual) with the
mouse and drag the line to a new output value. The
increment value for the OP cell is 0.01.
Minimum The Minimum cell as shown has no relevance. Both the
Minimum and Maximum values in the target moniker range
should be determined through monikers or through the
code.
Maximum The Maximum cell as shown has no relevance. Both the
Minimum and Maximum values in the target moniker range
should be determined through monikers or through the
code.
Show Unit Select this checkbox if you want to show the unit associated
with the moniker with the value in the widget.
View Only Select this checkbox to make the widget read-only.
Target
Widget
By making a selection from this drop-down list, you are
instructing the level widget to receive its information from
the Target Widget. When a target widget is selected, the
target moniker must correspond to a variable associated
with the target widget.
For an example, see the Target Widget property for the Text
Entry widget.
