An averaged plot (AVG) assumes a correlation between the X-axis parameter and the Y axis
parameters. The averaged plot divides the X axis into 100 equal-sized memory bins. Each sample
is tallied into the appropriate memory bin based on its X-axis value. When finished, the average
value for each Y-axis parameter in each memory bin is displayed.
A sequential plot (SEQ), plots each point successively as it comes from the data file. A sequential
plot provides more detail on the data than an averaged plot, but can appear rather messy.
The increase (INC) and decrease (DEC) plots are types of sequential plots. An increasing plot only
displays points when the X-axis values are increasing. A decreasing plot only displays points when
the X-axis values are decreasing. The increasing and decreasing sequential plots are especially
useful if you are profiling and display depth on the X axis. Thus the plot shows only the time in
which the sonde is being lowered or raised.
Select this option to set up the number of bins which will appear on the X-axis. This feature only
applies to reports and averaged plots (see above) with a parameter other than Date + Time on the X
axis. Changing this value modifies the number of bins into which the X-axis is divided. The
smaller the number of bins, the wider and more general is the plotted information. The maximum
number of allowable bins varies with the capability of your computer system, and is displayed in
parentheses.
Select this option to setup the number of parameters which will be plotted together. If you choose
1, there will be an individual X and Y axis displayed for each selected parameter. Select any
number of parameters per plot, (from 1 to 4) which provides your data with the best plot
presentation.
