The Gauges Tab:
Gauges are associated with a specific piece of equipment and are displayed under the Gauges tab in the Equipment Details screen. A single piece of equipment can have up to fifty gauges defined for it. Once gauges have been configured, they can be added to any schedules associated with the equipment.
