ChartsPlus

ChartsPlus

ChartsPlus is an optional package that offers extensive custom charting capabilities.
ChartsPlus is a Microsoft ClickOnce application that downloads and runs on the client
computer. Its look and feel is that of a traditional Windows application rather than a web
application. ChartsPlus is included in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software and requires a
separate activation.

ChartsPlus provides you with the ability to create customized graphical views of your
energy data. Some of the possibilities include:

Enhanced Trend

Plots up to 8 variables with a lot of flexibility. Different time ranges can be selected for
each variable and you can select various summary methods for each variable (for example,
you can plot the average Monday for one variable vs. a specific Monday for the same
variable or another variable). Also, the chart control itself has many built-in functions such
as zoom, scroll, print, export, and user customization.

X-Y Trend

Plots one dependent variable against up to 3 independent variables, plots a linear least
squares regression line along with targeting and CUSUM analysis.

Enhanced Calendar Trend

Same as standard Calendar Trend but can overlay different months and multiple variables.

Load Factor Chart

Plots a trend of load factor over a one-month period as well as daily min, max and average
demand.

Overlay Chart

Graphically displays a tag value with user-definable overlays.

ChartsPlus is best viewed with a Windows appearance scheme
with standard sized fonts. Windows appearance schemes with
large or extra large fonts may distort the appearance of
ChartsPlus.
