SECTION 2. PLOT TEMPLATE VIEW
In the previous chapter we briefly looked at the
three different “views” that are available in the
ID-2000 Windows application window. To
review, only one window is used by ID-2000. In
that window you can “view” three different types
of things but only one of them can be viewed at
a time. These three “views” are:
Plot Template View
In this view you tell ID-2000 what you want to
plot and how to plot it.

Plot View
As its name implies it displays the actual graphs
that you defined in the Plot Template view.
FIGURE 2-2. Plot View
FFT View
This view is similar to the Plot view except that it
displays an FFT plot (amplitude or power
spectrum) for frequency analysis.
This chapter discusses the features found in the
Plot Template view.

Before getting into the details of the Plot
Template view let’s discuss the plot template
file. The information contained in the Plot
Template view is stored in an ID-2000 plot
template file. Template files use an extension
of “.IDT”. These template files are used to:
•
Start ID-2000 with the same plot settings
that you used when you last exited ID-2000.
•
Provide a method for saving multiple plot
settings that can be reused.
The template file IDWIN.IDT is the default
template and always contains the settings from
your last ID-2000 session. When ID-2000 exits
it saves the current plot settings in IDWIN.IDT.
When you start ID-2000 the settings stored in
IDWIN.IDT are automatically loaded so that
everything is just like it was when you last used
ID-2000.
You may save the plot template settings to
another template file at any time by selecting
the File - Save Template As menu item and
entering the desired file name. You can then
load these saved settings by selecting the File -
Open Template menu item.
