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

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

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.
