What is the Scattergraph Editor?
The Scattergraph Editor is a Profile software tool that allows you
to generate on-screen scattergraphs for the purpose of reviewing
and editing velocity flow data and diagnosing various hydraulic site
conditions.
Scattergraphs allow you to graphically display the relationship of
one data entity to another, typically velocity and depth. For
example, first edit your depth data using the Hydrograph Editor or
Tabular Editor, and then use the Scattergraph Editor to plot your
depth data (X axis entity) against your velocity data (Y axis entity).
The resulting scattergraph displays the correlation between the
depth and velocity data. The pattern of the scattergraph curve can
indicate poor quality velocity points and can also represent potential
hydraulic backups.
Note: Scattergraphs typically are used to review and edit
velocity data (Y axis entity), as well as review the general
relationship between depth and velocity.
You can select one or two Y axis data entities; however, you can
only generate scattergraph curves or edit data with one Y axis data
entity.
Note: Prior to using the scattergraph to edit velocity data,
it is important to edit the depth data using another Profile
editor.
When to Use the Scattergraph Editor
Use the Scattergraph Editor during the weekly routine as part of
the Data Editing step. Refer to Introduction, Chapter 1, for more
information on the weekly routine.
