@Jared-Wiltshire Thank you so much for your reply. Currently with my limited background knowledge I can not fully understand this, but I will learn more about AngularJS and see how it goes :-)

Hi，
Could you please give some suggestions about the last two lines of my code? I am trying to use test={{myPoint.renderedValue}} for assigning the current value of the data point to the variable "test" and put the "test" variable into a function as parameter. The desirable effect is that the block's color keeps changing according to the data point value, which is a random numeric point XID=tsp_1 with range (-2000,2000) updating every 2 seconds, but the value could not be rendered succusfully using my code.
Do I have to include some js library? I saw this video but the download link is not available right now.

I have read the Examples and discussions in the forum but still have no idea. I would really appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Blair

<ma-get-point-value point-xid="tsp_1" point="myPoint"></ma-get-point-value>
<p>
The point name is "{{myPoint.name}}" and its value is {{myPoint.renderedValue}}.
