7.10.5 Using the Buttons and Controls

Press the Start button to begin graphing the histograms from the datalogger.
RTDAQ retrieves data as quickly as it can from the datalogger. Histograms
will be displayed in the graphical area of the Rainflow screen. Press the Stop
button to discontinue retrieving and graphing data. The Rainflow window
displays the Start button when the window is stopped, and displays the Stop
button in the same location when the window is running.

Press the Clear button to remove the display of the current histogram, and
begin displaying the next record. The display will not stop if it is in the
“started” state, but will clear the screen and continue forward.

Press the Options button to modify various characteristics for displaying the
graph. More detail about these options are given below in the section entitled
Setting the Options for the Rainflow screen.
