Chapter 7

Creating Custom Runtime Displays

7 – 30

Valid Range: The valid range for the

Upper

and

Lower

limits are

–32767 to 32767, and the difference between the two limits must not
exceed 32767. If you try to enter a number which is not valid, such as a

Lower

limit value which is higher than the current

Upper

limit, the

calculator pad will flash the message –

Value Out of Range.

Defining the

Event

For each

Graph

viewport you define, you must specify the

Event

. In

defining the event, you are defining the conditions which must be met, upon
completion of an inspection, in order for the

Graph

viewport variables to be

updated. You define the event using the

Event

menu. See Chapter 8 for

more information on setting the

Event

.

For example, the default setting specifies that the

Graph

viewport is always

updated upon completion of an inspection. You can define other conditions –
you can specify that the viewport is updated every 100 inspections, for
example.

The

Event

you define is in effect for all variables enabled for the

Graph

viewport – you cannot specify an event for each variable individually.

Graph Plotting and the Inspection Rate: The Color CVIM module
inspection processing has priority over the plotting of variables. Therefore,
for faster trigger rates, the graph may not be updated for every inspection.

Changing Display Page during Runtime

When you access a display page which contains a graph during runtime, the
graph viewport position indicator starts at the left edge of the display, and
begins plotting results from left to right. When a graph is currently
displayed, and you change the display page, then return to the display page
with the graph, and the graph viewport position indicator starts over at the
left edge of the display; the previously graphed results are erased from the
screen.

The

Config. Output

menu contains two sets of

Copy

and

Paste

boxes

which can be used to copy the contents of one string to another string, or to
copy all strings and parameters from one viewport to another. Refer to
Chapter 9 for a description of these functions.
