Realtime Radial Gauges and Fifo Scrolling Charts Dashboard - JavaScript

Overview

This vanilla JavaScript implementation showcases a dashboard with interactive polar gauges and real-time FIFO charts using SciChart.js. The example highlights the library's capability to create sophisticated visualizations without framework dependencies.

Technical Implementation

The core components are:

Features and Capabilities

Notable aspects include:

  • Animated transitions using frame-by-frame updates
  • Data optimization through FIFO buffers (100-point capacity)
  • Color-coded thresholds with dynamic value evaluation
  • Modular architecture with separate gauge and chart creation functions

Integration and Best Practices

Key integration points:

  • Proper WASM context initialization
  • Efficient memory management with fifoCapacity
  • Clean disposal via sciChartSurface.delete()
  • Performance optimization through batched updates
