Strip Chart (Dials & Gauges Blockset)

Display streams of data in real time

Description

The Strip Chart library contains a single block, the Strip Chart block. This block displays one or more signals while the simulation runs. It also enables you to zoom in or out. To learn how to use the Strip Chart block, see Strip Chart.

Dialog Box

The ActiveX Control Properties dialog box governs the appearance and functionality of the ActiveX control that is embedded in the block. The table below lists the panels of the ActiveX Control Properties dialog box.

Panel
Purpose

Background
Configure the background and outline of the block

Captions
Display annotations on the block

Fonts
Define text styles (The Captions and Stamps panels use the FontID or Stamp FontID property to reference the styles defined here.)

General
Define the appearance and behavior of the underlying plotting area

Library
Refer to property settings as a named collection

Stamps
Define the appearance of a symbol that you can place on the control or on an individual plot

Track Bands
Define the number of colored bands displayed on each individual plot, and the appearance of each band

Tracks
Define the number of individual plots, and the appearance of each (The Track Bands and Variables panels use the TrackID property to reference the tracks defined here.)

Variables
Determine which variables appear in each individual plot and how each variable is displayed.

X Axis
Determine what the values along the x-axis represent and how they are displayed
