Dials & Gauges Blockset

Controlling Multiple Graphical Elements

This section describes how you can display multiple input values simultaneously and dynamically on a gauge block that includes multiple graphical elements. Examples of multiple-component gauge blocks include these preconfigured blocks:

• Multiple Scales in the Linear Gauges library
• Pie Chart and Dynamic Pie in the Percent Indicators library
• Analog Clock and Stop Watch in the Angular Gauges library

Example models in this section describe different techniques for controlling multiple components simultaneously during a simulation. The S-function technique is more complicated but also more flexible and powerful.
