# Example: Using a gauge

In this example, the gauge monitors the speed of a conveyor.

1. Create a gauge and assign a tag to the Value connection.
2. Change the sweep style to fill and the number of thresholds to 2.

The application reads the Value connection and updates the gauge by moving the needle and filling the gauge to the correct value.

When the Value connection goes above the threshold 1 value, the fill color changes to the threshold 1 fill color.

When the Value connection goes above the threshold 2 value, the fill color changes to the threshold 2 fill color.
