Plot Capture

Plots (traces) can be captured either singly from the Site Master display or in multiples
from one or more stored-display locations. Both methods are described below.

The recommended method is to capture multiple traces to a database. In one operation, all
of the data residing in the up-to-200 stored display memory locations in the Site Master can
be downloaded to a database for easy data management.

NOTE: Trace scale can be captured as per Site Master or as autoscale by the
capture program. To select per Site Master or autoscaling, click on Settings and
Default Plot Settings from the top menu bar and pull-down menu.
