Graphs Page Options Toolbar
Note: Many of the Options buttons are two (2) state buttons. Two (2) state
buttons have two (2) positions: depressed and un-pressed. A visually
depressed button indicates the option is turned ON while a visually
un-pressed button indicates that the option is OFF. Clicking a two (2)
state button causes its state to change, thereby turning an option ON and
OFF.
The following is a functional description of each of the buttons on the Options toolbar of the Graphs
page:
Replot Click this button to refresh both graphs. Any time another option
is changed, the r
eplOt
must be clicked to see those changes.
On-Line Plotting This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON causes data to
be plotted on both graphs during the run cycle of a yield test. Keep in
mind that the DV-III Ultra Rheometer must be communicating with
the host PC and EZ-Yield TM in order for this data to be plotted.
Show Data Values This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON causes a hint
box to be displayed whenever the mouse cursor is placed on the
Stress versus Apparent Strain graph within the data boundaries of
the graph. This hint box displays the Time, % Torque, and Stress
of the position pointed to by the cursor for the % Torque vs. Time
graph. It displays Stress and Apparent Strain of the position pointed
to by the cursor for the Stress vs. Strain graph.
Calibration Data This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON causes
the straight line, representing the calibration information of the
rheometer, to be displayed along with the user data on the % Torque
vs. Time graph.
Major Grid Lines This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON displays the
major grid lines (those with a numerical representation on each axis)
to be displayed.
Minor Grid Lines This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON displays the
minor grid lines (those without numerical representation on each
axis) to be displayed.
Data Markers This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON displays a
data marker (i.e. a colored shape matching that in the Data legend)
for each data point.
Color Printouts This is a two (2) state button. Turning this option ON allows graphs to
be printed in color if an appropriately equipped printer is connected
and properly configured in Windows.
Use the P
lot
t
itle
two (2) state button to toggle between a user supplied graph title (the same
title is used on both graphs) or a title indicating the yield test results. When the P
lot
t
itle
button
is depressed, the user supplied title is used. You may delete the default “Enter Graph Title Here”
message and type in a new one.
Note: The Replot button must be clicked after making any changes to the state
of the P
lot
t
itle
button or to the user-supplied text.
