Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

8.1.6.7 Window Arrangement

When multiple data files are opened, they are arranged so that the title bar of

each window is visible and they cascade down and to the right starting from the

upper left corner. Pressing the Cascade button or choosing Window | Cascade

from the View Pro menu will return the data windows to this default

arrangement at any time.

Windows can be tiled horizontally as non-overlapping horizontal tiles by

pressing the Tile Horizontally button or choosing Window | Tile Horizontally

from the menu. They can be tiled vertically as non-overlapping vertical tiles

by pressing the Tile Vertically button or choosing Window | Tile Vertically

from the menu.

A data window can be moved manually by clicking on the title bar and

dragging it to the desired location.

The data view window can be kept in front of any opened graphs by selecting

View | Keep Data on Top from the menu.

8.1.7 Graphs

Once a data file is opened, data values can be displayed in several different

graphical forms including a Line Graph, Histogram, XY Plot, Rainflow

Histogram, or FFT. Each of these are launched from a button on the View Pro

toolbar. Graph buttons are enabled only if the graph type is appropriate for the

opened data file. For instance, if there is no data appropriate for an FFT, the

FFT button will be disabled on the View Pro toolbar. Multiple instances of

each type of graph can be launched.

Graphing Data from Multiple Data Files

Data from multiple data files can be displayed in a single graph. This is done

by opening multiple data files and selecting data to be graphed as described for

each graph type below. This may be useful when comparing data from

multiple datalogger stations.

Options

Each type of graph has several different options that can be set by the user.

Options that apply to the entire graph are generally set from a dialog box that is

opened by pressing the

Options button at the lower-left of the graph window,

by pressing the Graph Options button on the toolbar, or by right-clicking on

the graph and choosing

Options. Note that the XY Plot does not have an

Options button, so the Options dialog box is opened by pressing the Graph

Options button on the toolbar or right-clicking on the graph.

Options that apply to individual traces are set by selecting the trace in the list

of data values being graphed, and then pressing the

Edit button located below

that list. The XY Plot does not have user-configurable trace options.

For information on graph options refer to the online help. Help for a graph can

be accessed by pressing the

? button in the upper-right corner of the graph.
