 Types of Mimics
Eight different types of mimics are available:
• Dial Meter – a pointer which moves across a graduated scale
• Bar Graph – a variable height vertical bar with a graduated scale
• Thermometer – a bar graph in the shape of a bulb thermometer
• Compass – a circular compass display for indicating a bearing in degrees
• Digital Panel – a numeric display, similar to a digital panel meter
• LED – simulates a single or bi-colour LED
• State Indicator – indicates one of two states using two LEDs
• History List – displays a numeric value, along with previous samples
• Trend Chart – displays a trend chart for one or more channels
• Bar Chart – displays a single channel bar chart
On each mimic page you can present 1-16 channels using any combination of these mimic types
 Creating a Mimic
To create a mimic, choose one of the six display positions and click the Add Mimic... button. If you want to replace an
existing mimic, then you will first need to delete the old one by clicking on the X button in the top right of the mimic's
display position.
When you click on Add Mimic..., a dialog box will be displayed (Figure 45) where you can specify
• the type of mimic
• the channel whose value you want to display
Once these have been set, press OK to create the mimic.

 Configuring the Mimic
Once a mimic has been created, it will be displayed in the selected position and will begin automatically updating at the
default rate, or the rate you set on the mimic creation dialog.
You can now change various aspects of the mimic by clicking on the mimic's Configure link in the lower left corner. This
will bring up a configuration dialog box. The contents of this dialog will vary according to the mimic type. A typical mimic
configuration dialog (for the Compass type) is shown in Figure 46.
