Digital Totalizer Viewlet

The Digital Totalizer can be configured to show the current value of any monitored variable or total value for a period of time. For example, "Yearly Savings to Date", "Avoided CO2", "Campus kWh this Month", etc.  The Digital Totalizer can be configured to mirror real-time point data or calculate a total value over a period of time such as “This Month”. Additional icons are provided for various currencies


Digital Totalizer Configuration


Data Tab

  • Point Picker: Allows the user to choose a point to be displayed on the counter
  • Trend Picker: Allows the user to choose a trend to be displayed on the counter
  • Update Interval: The update interval is essentially the poll rate, how often the counter will request the latest value.

Config Tab

  • Precision: The number of fractional digits used on the counter.
  • Digits: 
        - Auto: Automatically sets the number of digits based on the current numeric value of the trend or point used.
        - Manual:  The counter will use this amount of characters for displaying the value.  Note that this is not traditional digits but also includes commas and period.  This feature can be used to ensure the counter is 
    always a set size.
  • Text Color: Pick from a range of colors or enter a specific hexadecimal color code.
  • Background Color: Pick from a range of colors or enter a specific hexadecimal color code.
  • Icon:
       - Use Icon: The icon selected above will be displayed to the left of the counter.
       - Custom Icon: Upload a specific image URL here. See Custom Image Loader for more details.
         
       - No Icon: Remove the icon completely allowing the counter to take the entire width of the viewlet.

 

Note:  Polling for a trend update requires more bandwidth and station processing power.  If the chosen trend is updating on a 15 minute interval, the counter should match this interval and be set to 900 seconds.
