Minimum/Maximum Display of Pressure Gauge

Post by jh1013@aol.com »

On the"Pressure" gauge I see two red-tinted 'wings' that I believe are intended to show minimum and maximum experienced atmospheric pressure. On my gauge they go from 29.710 downward and from 29.770 upward (I just installed build 4220 yesterday, so I believe the gauge reset its minimum and maximum). Is there anyway I can disable these 'wings' without being a coding guru? Thanks in advance!

It means MX does not have any of your historic data, did you migrate it from v3?

Ok, they will fairly quickly push back as you record a range of pressures, so if you can put up with them for while they will soon look less intrusive.

If not then you would have to edit the gauges.js file and remove them from the pressure gauge.

I took a look at the gauges.js file and see two lines:
params.minValue = cache.minValue;
params.maxValue = cache.maxValue;

that I suspect are the players, but I'm a bit hesitant to do anything to them unless the change would be fairly simple (I am a true neophite).

Thanks Mark - Do I do that with the 'edit' feature? When I do that, I don't see any line numbering; where woud I find that?

Edit the file using a decent text editor eg Notepad++, any deviant editor will normally show the line numbers.

Even the old Windows Notepad, though it did not show line numbers had a Goto Line option.
