Gauge

Open

The gauge symbol is a graphical element used to visually represent a measurement, value, or level within a predefined range, which can be configured statically or through AF. It resembles a meter with a needle that points to a specific position on the gauge scale. The position of the needle indicates the current value of the measured parameter. Gauge symbols are commonly used to quickly convey information about metrics, such as temperature, speed and progress.
