Text Gauge Zones

Post by OkieEngineer » Fri Jun 29, 2012 9:39 am

I would like to be able to change the color of a text gauge when the value goes into a certain range. I know this can be done by stacking multiple text gauges and setting visible conditions, but I am already doing that to select the units.

For example, I currently have a stack of oil pressure text gauges with the visible condition set to a unit selection variable so that the user can choose to display pressure in PSI, kPa, or Bar. I would like to be able to set these gauges to turn red when the oil pressure drops below 20 PSI. Currently, the only way I can come up with to do this is using a state machine to choose a gauge from a large stack based on two variables (unit selection and oil pressure).

The option to have zones for text gauges would make this style of gauge much simpler to set up.

Along the same lines, I would like to be able to set text gauges and image widgets to blink. Ideally, this would be set up similar to a visible condition, such that you choose a variable and a range for blinking. The ability to set the blink rate would also be useful.
