This section describes how to define the general settings for a bar graph.

The above is an example of the General page of the Bar Graph dialog box.

The following table describes each property in the General page.

	Word	Parameter
Property	Description
ID	The object’s identifier. It is generated when the object is created. The identifier is unique within the screen where the object is located. The format of the IDs for the bar graphs is BGnnnn.
Note	You can type a note for the object.
Shape settings	For details about the following properties, see Section 4.3.4 Setting up the Shape of an Object. , Border Color, BG Color
External Label	Check this option if you want the object to have an external label. Set up the external label in the External Label page.
Direction	Specifies the bar direction for the bar graph.
Data Type	The data type of the monitored variable. The supported data types include: 16-Bit Unsigned Integer, 32-Bit Unsigned Integer, 16-Bit Signed Integer, 32-Bit Signed Integer, 16-Bit BCD, 32-Bit BCD, 32-Bit Floating Point, 16-Bit Signed BCD (LMB), 32-Bit Signed BCD (LMB), 16-Bit Signed BCD (LMD), and 32-Bit Signed BCD (LMD)
Monitor Address	Specifies the variable to be monitored. Click to enter an address for this field. Click to select a tag for this field.
Dynamic Range	Check this option so the minimum and maximum of the monitored variable will be specified at runtime. When this option is selected, the minimum and maximum of the marks for the scale of the bar graph can be specified at runtime as well. The data that specifies the above two ranges should be set and arranged correctly in a memory block called the dynamic range parameter block. You need to specify the dynamic range parameter block for the bar graph in the Dynamic Range Parameter Block field.
Dynamic Range Parameter Block	Specifies the variable that stores the dynamic range parameter block for the bar graph when Dynamic Range is selected. Click to enter an address for this field. Click to select a tag for this field. The following table shows the data arrangements of the parameter block when the data type is 16-bit and the scale of the bar graph is not dynamic.
	0	The minimum of the monitored variable
	1	The maximum of the monitored variable
	The following table shows the data arrangement of the parameter block when the data type is 16-bit and the scale of the bar graph is dynamic.
	Word	Parameter
	0	The minimum of the monitored variable
	1	The maximum of the monitored variable
	2, 3	The minimum of the mark for the scale; 32-bit integer number
	4, 5	The maximum of the mark for the scale; 32-bit integer number
	The following table shows the data arrangement of the parameter block when the data type is 32-bit and the scale of the bar graph is not dynamic.
	Word	Parameter
	0, 1	The minimum of the monitored variable
	2, 3	The maximum of the monitored variable
	The following table shows the data arrangement of the parameter block when the data type is 32-bit and the scale of the bar graph is dynamic.
	Word	Parameter
	0, 1	The minimum of the monitored variable
	2, 3	The maximum of the monitored variable
	4, 5	The minimum of the mark for the scale; 32-bit integer number
	6, 7	The maximum of the mark for the scale; 32-bit integer number
Min.	Specifies the minimum of the monitored variable when Dynamic Range is not selected.
Max.	Specifies the maximum of the monitored variable when Dynamic Range is not selected.
Bipolar Bar	Check this option for the bar graph to display the difference between the monitored value and the value specified in the Middle Point field.
Middle Point	Specifies the reference value/point for the bipolar bar.
Bar Pattern	Select a pattern for the bar graph. The pattern will be used to fill the bar. When the pattern is filled in the bar, the black part of the pattern is painted with the color specified in the Bar FG Color field, and the white part of the pattern is painted with the color specified in the Bar BG Color field.
Bar FG Color	Select a color for painting the black part of the specified pattern.
Bar BG Color	Select a color for painting the white part of the specified pattern.
