Default Meters
There are 17 default meters available in the PeppyMeter out of the box. The 'random' meter displays the meters in a random order. The rotation interval between random meters can be specified as one of the configuration parameters (random.meter.interval). Here are the example images and configuration of the meters from the meter folder 480x320.

This is the default meter specified in the 'current' section of the configuration file:
[current]
meter = random
random.meter.interval = 20
The second property (random.meter.interval) defines in seconds how often random meter changes one meter by another.
