Requirements

Input Port Description

• x [double]: The x-input port for the signal to be displayed. This input port supports synchronization
• y [double]: The y-input port for the signal to be displayed. This input port supports synchronization

Event Listener Description:

• dotOn: fill the dot with color.
• dotOff: show only outline of the dot (can be used to create a led indicator).

Properties

• xMin [double]: The default x-minimum of the signal range at model start (this value is automatically updated as lower values come in).
• xMax [double]: The default x-maximum of the signal range at model start (this value is automatically updated as higher values come in).
• yMin [double]: The default y-minimum of the signal range at model start (this value is automatically updated as lower values come in).
• yMax [double]: The default y-maximum of the signal range at model start (this value is automatically updated as higher values come in).
• mode [integer]: Via this property the way how values which exceed the current min/max range of the bar graph component are handled: "clip to min and max" crops incoming values to the min/max range, "autoupdate min and max" scales the bar graph window and updates the min/max values to cover the incoming value.
• dotSize [integer]: The radius of the dot.
• centerLine [boolean]: defines if a line to the window center is shown or not.
• displayDot [boolean]: defines if the dot is filled or not.
• displayCaptions [boolean]: defines if the value / captions are shown or not.
• gridColor [integer]: The colour of the graph grid and descriptions.
• dotColor [integer]: The colour of the dot.
• backgroundColour [integer]: The colour of the window background.
• fontSize [integer]: The font size of the display's caption.
• caption [string]: The text of the display's caption.
• displayGUI [boolean]: if selected, the GUI of this component will be displayed - if not, the GUI will be hidden and disabled.
