use %alarm for gauge ?
 
is there some reason I can't use %alarm(alarmname) for the value of a gauge ?

I've tried every way I can think of, and it just won't work.

The value of a gauge is only updated when a variable used in the gauge changes. The gauge does not "poll" to see if it changes, and the %alarm function is not a direct variable reference, so there is no way to notify the button that the caption value has changed. You'd need to set up another timer/alarm that updates a variable with the value of %alarm and then use that variable in the gauge value.
