The KineticaRT Gauge Component is fast, easy to configure and supports live update (state changes are transferred automatically to/from the connected channel). It is a member of the KineticaRT family of components, which can be used separately or in unison to build applications for instrumentation, hmi, control, monitoring and test automation. You can embed it straight into your application and its flexible look-and-feel makes it ideal for virtual control panels. Features include a configurable needle with smooth movement, optional colored fill (solid, segmented or permanent), labeled scale with optional threshold marks, text scale labels (roman numerals, compass points etc.), manual input - drag the needle to update the destination channel - and a source property to automatically update the display in real-time.
