COMPONENT’S PROPERTIES

GUI

This component’s sample is made by using Graphic UI gateway.

Please refer to “Gateways / Protocols” guide in order to get further info.

Default time lapse: Time lapse of the chart’s data visualization that will be set as default once the chart is opened insid the user interface (Day, Week, Month, Year);

Chart’s date picker: Date picker component that allows the chart’s date selection on the user interface;

Chart’s range picker: Drop Down component that allows the chart’s range selection on the user interface;

Min value: Min axes’ value, leaving this field empty will set automatically the scale’s values;

Max value: Max axes’ value leaving this field empty will set automatically the scale’s values;

How to set up a Chart (test project)

TEST PROJECT INTRODUCTION

This is a step by step guide that shows how to set up a chart component. with virutal components, with the EVE-Ghost. Here you will learn how to set up a Chart component from scrach, from its basics to the User interface visualization.

First add a new Recorder component inside the project, then insert the component you want to record inside the component list on the Recorder component properties. In this example we are using a slider component as data source.

Add a new Chart component in the project, then select the wanted data source from the “Data source” drop down menu in component properties.

Once the data source is choosen you can now add the chart component inside the User interface, in this test we are using the Classic user interface. Enter the “User interface section by selecting it from the section menu and add a new main menu icon then add the Slider component in the user interface editor component inside the third level of the editor (Picture 1). Then upload the project into the server filling up the conection parameters in the Upload window (Picture 2).

The Recorder need the logic module up and running in order to record data. In order to display the data inside the chart the recorder needs to record the data, in this case the data will be recorded every time the Slider moves. The recorded data will be compared each minute with the data recorded the minute before in case of a dense data recording.

By clicking the chart component icon you will enter its user interface, here by dragging the slider on the bottom of the interface, allows you to consult the data recorded.
