Hello. I have an application that uses interchangeable physical gauges. I want to replicate the gauge values using a C-More EA9 analog meter. I can interrogate the gauge and get its Unit of Measure, which I want to use as the meter's label, and I can get its upper range limit which I want to use as the display range max. Can these values be set dynamically like this, and if so how do I go about it? Thanks, Andrew.

    Dynamic Ranges are something C-more has needed for a long time. They are not settable. What I have done is build different objects with the ranges I want and use visibility to show the correct object at the time it is needed.

    Thanks Bob. I imagine that it's the same story with labels?
