Animation
Animation controls the smooth transition effect when a Gauge pointer moves from one value to a new one. Available on Radial Gauge and Linear Gauge types, configured in the Axis Design step.
How to Access
- Navigate to the Axis Design step in the wizard.
- Find the Animation section.
- Enter a duration value in milliseconds in the Duration field.
Parameters
| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Duration (ms) | Transition duration for the pointer moving to its new position, in milliseconds. | — |
Recommended Values
| Use Case | Recommended Duration |
|---|---|
| Fast, responsive transition | 500 ms |
| Smooth, visually fluid transition | 1000–2000 ms |
| Disable animation | 0 ms |
Tips
- If high-frequency MQTT data is coming in, a long animation duration (>1000 ms) may cause the pointer to appear in constant motion; 500 ms or less is recommended.
- For static or infrequently updated data, longer durations (1500–2000 ms) improve the visual experience.
- Set duration to 0 to completely disable animation.
