Limits Widget - Low Limit

 
This attribute sets the lower limit of the LIMITS bar. Below this limit, the LIMITS bar will be painted using the pen color specified by the OUTSIDE PEN attribute. On a monochrome monitor, a line is drawn at the LOW LIMIT.
 
To have LOW LIMIT appear on the bar, LOW LIMIT must be greater than or equal to MINIMUM, less than or equal to MAXIMUM, and less than or equal to HIGH LIMIT. A VALUE equal to LOW LIMIT is inside the range. A value less than LOW LIMIT is outside the range.
 
HIGH LIMIT, LOW LIMIT, ALARM RANGES, and ALARM TYPE  can be used to specify the alarm behavior of the LIMITS. The value of LOW LIMIT will be displayed with only one digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, if you set the value of LOW LIMIT to 123.4567, the display will show 123.5. If you set the value of LOW LIMIT to 0.0001375, the display will show 1.4E-4.
 
If you need to display numbers in a different way for your application, you can set the value of LOW LIMIT as a string. For example, if you want to display  0.000237 or 4.167E-4, set  the value of LOW LIMIT to the string "0.000237" or "4.167E-4" in the ASSIGN or CONTROL statement.
