A Compass gauge displays directional data using a circular scale, typically with cardinal points. Its purpose is to provide orientation information. The gauge uses a needle that points towards a direction, simulating a traditional compass. Configure it by setting the linked value. Use it by integrating the compass into devices or applications requiring geo directional guidance.

Requirements
This component is Portable. It runs both on Windows and on Web Pages hosted in any platform.
Configuration
The Configuration involves setting data fields, adjusting visual parameters, and customizing angles and thickness. Use involves selecting the target data, configuring settings, and integrating the gauge into dashboards or reports.
Compass Settings | |
|---|---|
Field | Description |
Header | Defines the title of the gauge. Provides a concise label indicating the type of data or metric displayed. |
Header Font size | Adjusts the font size of the header text. Ensures the header is readable and consistent with the overall design. |
Linked Value | Links a specific data value or source to the gauge. |
Rim Thickness | Specifies the thickness of the outer rim of the gauge. Affects the visual weight and prominence of the gauge. |
Stroke | Adjusts the stroke width of the gauge arc. Influences the visual clarity and emphasis of the gauge. |
Runtime ExecutionÂ
In Runtime, the control has embedded controls to allow the Operator to modify the view.
Typically the configuration settings of value is attached to a Tag that can be mapped with a WebService to get the direction of the location of the Client Computer, or to a script that sets the value on how the Display Process Diagram is oriented on the physical asset location.
