Stacked mode
In contrast to the normal mode graph, the stacked mode graph is used to more efficiently present the
relationship between strike type specific strike rates. Here, each graph is plotted so that it represents the
aggregate value of its own data set and all of the data sets beneath.
In stacked mode, the topmost graph is the one that will show the total true strike rate. To obtain the actual
strike rate value for an individual graph you must subtract the strike rate values of all the graphs beneath it.
Stacked mode is particularly useful for observing changes in polarity and strike type distributions in
thunderstorms over time.
Graphs available in stacked mode:
• Stacked +CG, -CG, +IC and -IC rate
The stacked graph mode and differentiation is not available with the LD-250 detector!
To toggle between normal and stacked mode, use the F4 key or select the corresponding option from the
Trend graph menu or the Data graphics configuration dialog.
