The Ranges feature in DataTalk provides a flexible way to define and manage value groups and their associated behaviors. These ranges can be used to trigger alarms, animations, or other system functionalities where limits or intervals play a key role.

Key Features:

1. Ranges Tab:

• Create groups that can be assigned to tags.
• These groups allow you to define triggers for alarms, animations, or other features based on specified limits.

2. Limits Tab:

• Assign either dynamic values (read from a tag) or static values to specific limits.
• Customize default colors for each limit to enhance visual representation.
• Use the “help” dial to graphically preview and verify the limits you’ve set.

3. Interval Tab:

• Define intervals using a from/to approach, which can be:
  • Dynamic: Based on a connection tag.
  • Static: Set manually by the user.

4. Value-to-Text Mapping Tab:

• Map static values to corresponding text descriptions.
• Activate or deactivate alarm notifications using the bell icon.

5. Binary Mapping Tab:

• Translate binary data into readable text by mapping individual bits to specific textual values.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Control: Enables detailed management of system behaviors tied to specific tag values.
• Customization: Offers a variety of options, from dynamic limits to user-defined intervals, ensuring flexibility.
• Ease of Use: Features like graphical previews and color customization simplify the process of managing ranges.
