To begin, run the HistoryView program by right-clicking on History in the menu tree and select
HistoryView, or from the main menu select File, then HistoryView. The first screen will prompt
you to select an IMS Host. Click in the box next the Host you want to Query. The program will
then load the associated nodes and input names. Next, select the Host or Nodes that you want to
query information on, then select any filters that you want to apply. If you select All you will see
all events and data samples for the selected units. If you select Samples or Alarms you must then
choose one or more Environmental Inputs or IP Alarms.
Note: the number that precedes each Environmental and IP description corresponds to the unit
number to which they’re connected (0 being the Host and 1-31 being the associated Nodes).
If you double-click on an item in the Environmental or IP Alarm box, all of the listed items will
become selected and/or deselected. Last, select a time frame to perform the query and click View.
The selected data will now be displayed. See sample screen below:

Graphing
Graphing data is possible when the selected query contains only Samples.
If you click on the Graph button, all of the points in the query will be displayed as a line graph.
There are also options (from the Graph menu above) to format and display the data as a bar or area
graph. You can have up to eight items displayed on the graph at once. To view different parts of
the graph use the arrows on the bottom and sides to adjust the position. A graph can be printed by
clicking the Print button at the top of the screen. You can copy the graph to the Windows clipboard
by clicking the Copy button. This allows you to paste the graph into other applications. The Zoom
In and Zoom Out buttons let you view the data with more or less detail. The Reset button restores
the original view of the graph. When finished, click the Close button to return to the grid.
