Bar Meter display

Visually compare the most recently recorded data values across similar measurements.

Displaying data in a bar meter is useful when you want to compare values across multiple sensors of the same type of measurement. The bar meter display is commonly used with the Wireless Colorimeter since it contains six absorbance sensors. If you want to compare a single sensor measurement across multiple categories, a bar graph display would be more appropriate.
