Configuring control properties

Most of the control properties in the Advanced overlay editor can be configured with two values:

• Display value (or default value) and
• formula (run time value).

These two values are separated by using “#” character:

• Default_Value#RunTime_Value

If a property can be configured with both values, double clicking on its input text box will open another dialog as shown below.

• The display value (or the default value) is the hard corded value set at the design time
• Run time value can be any one of the following:
  • text string or a number
  • an empty value
  • A variable: For example to show the speed we can set the variable VAR_0015
  • Reference to a custom (user) property definition E.g. [0], [1] …
  • An equation
  Equations are built by combining of two or more of the following:

  • Variables
  • Math’s functions
  • Conditional statements
  • Tags which refers custom property definitions

  Example: following equation is used in one of the factory overlays to rotate an image needle bitmap of a RPM dial:

  If(VAR_0010>[0];33.5;if(VAR_0010<[1];-123.5;if(VAR_0010>[2];( VAR_0010-[2])/([0]-[2])*33.5;([2]- VAR_0010)/([2]-[1])*-123.5)))
