Bar graph
The normal bar graph is a graphical representation of a reading as a portion of a range, as shown in
the following figure. 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 + full scale of the present range for positive readings and − full
scale for negative readings. When the 100% line changes to an arrow, the reading exceeds the
current range.
