YSI Data Scout Advanced - Manual (Page 39)

The Xdcr. column (of the original Table display) remains exposed (on the left) when a plot display pane
appears on top of it. This allows individual transducers to still be selected (by clicking their row) which
is required to perform various other transducer-specific Configure menu functions of the Run window.
Clicking a row is also used to select the scope of a Trend plot: either a single transducer’s measurements
or data from all transducers plotted together (by clicking the bottom blank row). A similar function
chooses to plot the latest extracted or selected AutoLog file (see section 4.2.5.2).
NOTE:
The desired Plot format (AutoLog or Trend) may also be explicitly selected by clicking the Options button in the Display frame, then
selecting it in the second frame of a Display Options window (figure 4.13). The option window also allows one to select other options
of the currently selected Plot format (e.g., scope, symbol size and density, background colors, etc.). Explore the ToolTips of these
option windows for more information on the purpose of each option frame, field, and button. Plot options can also be obtained by
clicking the plotting surface.

The first frame of Display Options can be ignored for now as it determines if AutoLog data (to be described later) are to be displayed
when extracted from the Level Scout. The type of plot (Trend or AutoLog) is usually selected automatically. However, the second
frame lets you also choose it explicitly, which is sometimes useful when both are possible. The window also displays other options that
are appropriate to that particular selected plot type. In the Trend case shown, the user can also select its scope here.
The All Transducers Trend format can be confusing if there are many transducers, as there is room to show labeled axes for only four
measurements. The user must mentally divide the printed range annotation of each measurement by five to establish the value of each
of the five standard grid lines shown. If the Pressure (P) and Temperature (T) measurements are not selected, then other selected
measurements have their axes labeled instead.
