Analog Instrumentation Components
The following controls are included in our collection of
12 ActiveX and VCL components intended for the display or input of analog and real-number
based data. This package of 12 components is included when you purchase our Instrumentation Pack or
Professional Pack. Each component is designed for high-speed and robustness. All
components including double, triple, or quadruple-buffering to improve display performance
with a low impact on processor usage.
The Knob control is a 3D knob which supports both mouse and keyboard control. To setup
as a multi-turn Knob, set the RotationMaxDegrees property to multiples of 360 degrees.
The Slider control is an Analog (Real Number) output control component, which supports
both keyboard and mouse control. Also see the Switch Slider control.
The Angular Gauge is a graphical linear gauge with an angular representation of the
data. Supports up to 5 color sections and 4 pointer styles. Also see the Angular Log Gauge.
The Odometer control is a basic Odometer with a rotating tenths digit. The font for the
tenths can be set independently of the other digits.
The Linear Gauge component is a graphical gauge with a linear representation of the
data. Supports up to 5 color sections and 4 pointer styles. Also see the Linear Log Gauge.
The LED Bar component is a progress bar component with 3 different indicator styles and
4 different segment directions.
The LED Spiral component is a progress bar component with up to 3 color sections.
The Thermometer component is a linear gauge with a visual representation that looks
like a thermometer. Includes min & max pointers for tracking purposes.
The Analog Display component is a simple display typically used for displaying analog
(real number) values with a precision specified and units. To display integer values, set
the precision to 0.
The Analog Output control is a simple control for entering analog (real number) values
with a precision specified and units. To output integer values only, set the precision to
0.
The Seven Segment Analog is a seven-segment display used for displaying analog (real
number) values. You can specify the total number of display digits and the number of
precision digits. If the Value overflows the display in the positive direction, then up
arrows will be shown. If the Value overflows the display in the negative direction, then
down arrows will be shown.
The Gradient component is a basic gradient component with start and stop colors and 12
different fill directions as shown above.
iLabelX is a windowed control that displays text on a form. This text can be used to label another control, and can be placed on top of or below other controls (which the standard Windows label cannot do).
The iLabelX is similar to a standard Windows label, but has additional features such as BorderStyle and Shadow properties that provide a 3D, raised, or sunken effect (ShadowColor, ShadowShow, ShadowXOffset, ShadowYOffset).
