This article applies to versions 4.3.2 and earlier of P2 Explorer.\u00a0For help on the latest version,\u00a0see Meter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

The Meter\u00a0 displays a numeric\u00a0value in the form of a needle in relation of a range of targets.<\/p>\n

The following diagram shows a Meter being configured:<\/p>\n

Source Data<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe dataset from which the values are obtained.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Actual Column<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe column in the dataset that provides the actual value of the data point. This must contain a numeric value. If it contains anything other than a number, the meter will be stuck at 0.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Filter Column<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe column of the dataset that provides the values that will be assessed. This is used in conjunction with the Filter Value<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Filter Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe row of the dataset that provides the value that will be assessed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Measure Column<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe columns in the dataset that determine the segments of the meter. The columns should be listed in a logical numerical order, such as high-low or low-high.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Measure Colour<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe columns in the dataset that determine the colour of each meter segment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Minimum Value Column<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe column in the dataset that determines the starting value of the meter. If nothing is specified, the meter will start at 0.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Arc Thickness<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe width, in pixels, of the meter arc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Number of Ticks<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe number of ticks to display in the meter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Minimum Arc Angle<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe angle that determines the start point location of the meter. There are 4 preset angles that are supplied.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Maximum Arc Angle:<\/strong><\/td>\nThe angle that determines the end point\u00a0location of the meter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tutorial<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Meter\u00a0is a useful component to display levels. In this topic, we\u2019ll show you how to use the Meter\u00a0to display planned vs actual production data for a selected well. This is often used in production summary reports.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at how we\u2019re actually going to do this, step-by-step.<\/p>\n

Step by Step: Creating a Meter\u00a0That Displays Planned vs Actual Data<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Before you start, open a new tab in Explorer and click the \u201cCreate a New Page in Studio Mode\u201d thumbnail.\u00a0Choose the grid<\/a>\u00a0layout \u2013 you can adjust the rows and columns if you like but it\u2019s not important for this exercise.<\/p>\n

You will need to adjust the configuration to suit your data at your site.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Add\u00a0the source data<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we can display any\u00a0data on the page, \u00a0we need to add the source data.<\/p>\n
