Bar graph
The Bar graph illustrates the average signal strength from all available connected devices behind a specific
SCOPE repeater. It is a helpful utility to get an impression of the overall signal quality of the network.
The average amplitude should be around 5 V. When there are bus problems the Bar graph will display different
Voltage levels and the color of the bars will change.
