Bar Graph Screen

You can select the BAR GRAPH data screen on the ADD/REMOVE screen. It contains a bar graph gauge with 3 supporting numerical elements. The units used depend on the selections in the Settings menu.
 

The Bar Graph element is located on the bottom of the screen. It provides a visual representation of a selected parameter (speed by default).
 

You can configure the gauge by tapping and holding or double-tapping on it. This will open up the BAR GRAPH SETTINGS menu.

There are 2 Bar Graph settings screens available: DATA/RANGE and ALERTS. You can toggle between them by tapping the Forward or Back arrows on the bottom right of the screen or by swiping left or right. You can change the settings by tapping the corresponding button next to an option.
