6.6.7 Window Arrangement
When multiple data files are opened, they are arranged so that the title bar of
each window is visible and they cascade down and to the right starting from
the upper left corner. Pressing the Cascade button or choosing Window |
Cascade from the View Pro menu will return the data windows to this default
arrangement at any time.
Windows can be tiled horizontally as non-overlapping horizontal tiles by
pressing the Tile Horizontally button or choosing Window | Tile Horizontally
from the menu. They can be tiled vertically as non-overlapping vertical tiles
by pressing the Tile Vertically button or choosing Window | Tile Vertically
from the menu.
A data window can be moved manually by clicking on the title bar and
dragging it to the desired location.
The data view window can be kept in front of any opened graphs by selecting
View | Keep Data on Top from the menu.
6.7 Graphs
Once a data file is opened, data values can be displayed in several different
graphical forms including a Line Graph, Histogram, XY Plot, Rainflow
Histogram, or FFT. Each of these are launched from a button on the View Pro
toolbar. Graph buttons are enabled only if the graph type is appropriate for the
opened data file. For instance, if there is no data appropriate for an FFT, the
FFT button will be disabled on the View Pro toolbar. Multiple instances of
each type of graph can be launched.
Graphing Data from Multiple Data Files
Data from multiple data files can be displayed in a single graph. This is done
by opening multiple data files and selecting data to be graphed as described for
each graph type below. This may be useful when comparing data from
multiple datalogger stations.
Options
Each type of graph has several different options that can be set by the user.
Options that apply to the entire graph are generally set from a dialog box that is
opened by pressing the Options button at the lower-left of the graph window,
by pressing the Graph Options button
on the toolbar, or by right-clicking on
the graph and choosing Options. Note that the XY Plot does not have an
Options button, so the Options dialog box is opened by pressing the Graph
Options button on the toolbar or right-clicking on the graph.
Options that apply to individual traces are set by selecting the trace in the list
of data values being graphed, and then pressing the Edit button located below
that list.
For information on graph options refer to the online help. Help for a graph can
be accessed by pressing the ? button in the upper-right corner of the graph.
