Menu Gauge
Overview
The Menu Gauge allows a simple text menu to be drawn on the screen which allows navigation to various pages in the setup.
This is useful for seldom used configuration options such as Setting the time, setting the calibration factor or displaying the screen properties.
The menu events Menu Up and Menu Down are used to navigate up and down the menu and Menu Select jumps to the page associated with the current menu item.
Properties
In addition to Standard Gauge Properties , the following properties may be configured:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Flat Mode | If selected, the menu will render in an arc. If not selected, the menu will render in the number of columns specified by the column property. |
| Columns | The number of columns to use in flat mode. |
| Selected Colour | The colour of the currently selected menu item. Only active in Flat mode. |
| Deselected Colour | The colour of all non-selected menu items. Only active in Flat mode. |
| Activation Input | If specified, the menu will be visible and respond to events if the specified output value matches the Activation value. Otherwise it will be hidden. |
| Activation Value | The value to make this menu visible if an Activation Input is specified. |
| Initial Position | The initial item selected when the menu is shown. |
| Revert Timeout/s | If non-zero, the menu will revert to the Revert Screen when the timeout has passed with no menu events being triggered. |
| Menu Items | A list of the menu items. The following columns are available: Menu Item, Page, Output to Set, Selectable, Value, Format. |
| Set Immediately | If this is checked, then, if an item is selectable, when it is scrolled to, the Output to Set value will be actioned immediately. In addition, the last menu item will not be rendered; this is a place holder for the click action when in set immediate mode. This could be, for example, another Output to Set function to change the currently active menu or it could be a page jump. If neither of these functions are to be used, a dummy last menu item should still be added. |
Menu Item Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Menu Item | Contains the text shown for the menu item. This can be formatted in a similar manner to Notifications (See Notifications Tab ). |
| Page | Column contains the page jumped to when the Menu Select event is triggered. If this value is negative and an output to set has been specified, then the unsigned version of this number will be set in the output. Eg if the value is -1, the output specified will be set to 1 when the menu item is selected. |
| Output to Set | If an output is specified here, then the absolute value specified in the Page/Value column will be set in this output when the menu item is selected (the value must be listed as negative). Currently, only calibration outputs support this feature. |
| Selectable | If set to yes, then selecting this item will put a tick next to it. Any other item in the menu that currently has a tick will have the tick cleared. |
| Value | Menu items can display a value if the @ symbol is present in the menu name. The source for the value is specified in this column. |
| Format | The format string used to format the value specified in the value column. |
