Plot Examples 7
This chapter provides examples of the various plot types. The following chapters are directly related to this
one and may need reviewed or referred to.
Chapter 5, Display Menu… Plots, discusses:
o how to save and recall plot setups
o change display ranges
o change scales
o Real Time and History Data (playback) modes
o channels
o filtering data
Chapter 6, Toolbar Buttons, identifies the layout of the
toolbars and explains the purpose of each button.
Selecting Plots from the Display pull-down menu opens a Data Display window. Note that you can
double-click on a gauge to open a Data Display window for plotting that gauge’s data.
For real-time displays, you can halt and resume the display of data by using the Pause/Continue toggle
button, or use the “P” key on the keyboard. When viewing historical data, you can use the playback buttons
and the history data slider to navigate through the data.
You can view either real-time data or historical data. In the examples that follow we are view historical
data, thus the History button has been clicked, and appears “active” [green] on our screen.
