Industrial seven-segment display panel for real-time dataset monitoring. Inspired by panel meters from Omega, Laurel, and Red Lion, the kind of displays you see on strain gauge indicators, process controllers, and lab instruments.
- Canvas-rendered seven-segment digits. Authentic segment geometry, not a font hack.
- Multi-window. Open a separate indicator for each dataset you want to monitor.
- 6 color themes. Blue, Green, Amber, Red, Cyan, and White, switchable per display.
- Hold. Freeze the display to read a value without it changing.
- Tare. Zero-offset the display, just like a scale tare button.
- Peak tracking. Capture and display min/max peaks since last reset.
- Reset. Clear tare, peaks, and hold state.
- Configurable decimals. Auto, 0 through 5 fixed decimal places.
- Smart formatting. Auto-scales from µV to MV, uses scientific notation for extremes.
- Auto-reconnect. Reconnects to the API server if the connection drops.
- Launch the plugin from the Extension Manager or Start Menu
- The master window shows all available datasets with live values
- Double-click any dataset to open a dedicated indicator display
- Use the buttons on each display:
- HOLD. Freeze the current reading (amber highlight when active).
- TARE. Set the current value as the zero reference.
- PEAK. Enable min/max peak tracking.
- RESET. Clear all offsets and return to normal display.
- Change the color theme or decimal places using the dropdowns
