Posted 12 Feb 2019 Hi Ojay. Im assuming you mean you want to display the numerical value onto a HMI? You will need to find out where the numericla display is written from then copy the device address to your graphic display Regards Daniel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 Feb 2019 i preview and test my design on the preview window. I have a numerical display tool and a graphic bar.... I want that when the value on the numerical display changes the fill on the graphic meter should respond accordingly...... the graphic meter should read data from the numerical display......and fill accordingly... i still cannot figure it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 Feb 2019 (edited) I think you are getting confused with the preview function, this is not a simulation only a graphical overview of your screen. That said, you can click on the panel meter graphic and modify the displayed value, but it will not dynamically follow your numeric input. To have it dynamically change the panel meter graphic in line with your numeric input you need to simulate it, which if installed will be accessable under the 'tools' dropdown.
