Tanks are visual displays of analog value changes. The tank shows the analog value as a graphical bar chart as well as numerically.
To add a tank to the current form, click on the Add Tank Button on the display tab of the toolbar. The tank component displays sensor data from a minimum to maximum value. The rising and lowering of the tank bar indicates the level.
Tanks or bar charts can be displayed in different colors and borders.
