Bar graph
The normal bar graph, with a zero at the left end, is a graphical representation of a reading as a
portion of a range, as shown in the figure below. The vertical lines displayed along the bar designate
0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 % of full scale. Each full segment of the bar represents
approximately 4 % of the range limit.
The right endpoint of the bar graph is plus full scale of the present range for positive readings, and
minus full scale for negative readings. When the 100 % line changes to an arrow, the reading
exceeds the current range.
