Used by: Data Flow Pulse Input tags
This widget is not used by the Totalizer tag.
* Does not use the Style Settings tag.
The Totalizer widget calculates and displays the combined total of the value of the Pulse Input tag being drawn within a user-defined period of time. Each time the user-defined period of hours has cycled, the Totalizer object will automatically reset to 0 and will begin to recalculate.
The Totalizer tag widget does not calculate the average value of the tag. Rather, it increments the new value to the former value each time the value changes. For example, if the value of the Data Flow Pulse Input tag changes from 27 to 30 to 32 to 21 within the user-defined period of time, the value displayed by the Totalizer object will be 110. It should also be noted that the Totalizer tag widget rounds values off before totaling them (for example, 23.62 will be rounded off to 24 and then added to the total value).
The properties dialog for the Totalizer widget:
Font
Select one of the font tags (or parameter linked to a font tag) that you with to use to display the text. The display will use the default system font if you do not select a font tag.
The parameters button is enabled only if the tag is drawn on a page that includes a font parameter, or if the tag is part of a widget and the associated widget editor is open.
Note: While it is possible (and very easy) to modify the appearance of the text within this widget using the Format ribbon of the Idea Studio, you will find it much easier to manage a group of similar controls by defining a font tag and selecting that for each. Changes to all can then be made by adjusting the properties of a single font tag.
Type of Border
Examples of the three border types are shown at the beginning of this topic.

Set to the number of hours (or fractions of an hour) after which the widget should reset to 0 and begin totaling again.
