Meter   (ID=7009)  

Obsolete, please use Magic Meter instead. Due to its status, it is normally installed as a hidden add-on. Please use Windaq Add-on Manager to add it to Windaq's menu if you wish to use it

This Windaq add-on provides enlarged font for text-based meter-like display for any channel under DATAQ's WinDaq  acquisition software, as well as visual alarm features (See high/low limit options below). 

To better integrate the display with Windaq, please see Magic Meter
