5.2.3 Average Tonnage Graph Detail
The average
tonnage detail screen
(“Average Tons
Graph” tab - see
Figure 5.4) graphically
shows the average
tonnage for a machine
for the last 8 hours,
last 24 hours, or the
current run. The
default is the current
run, but clicking the
“Last 8 Hours” or
“Last 24 Hours”
buttons near the
bottom of the dialog
box will change the
time scale.
The
average
tonnage, highest good
tonnage, and lowest
good tonnage are
collected in 10 minute
intervals (unless a job is changed, in which case the interval is terminated to keep the tonnages
associated with the correct job).
Figure 5.4: Machine Detail “Average Tonnage Graph” Dialog Box
The highest good tonnage is the highest tonnage that did not exceed the high setpoint and the lowest
good tonnage is the lowest tonnage that did not go below the low setpoint. The average tonnage is the
average of all in-limit hits.
This screen shows the average tonnages as an area graph, the highest good tonnage as a line graph,
and the lowest good tonnage as a line graph. The average tonnage for each different job run on the
machine appears in a different color.
The graph is arranged by time of day and can be zoomed if greater detail is desired from a section of
the total graph. To zoom in on the graph, move the mouse pointer to one corner of the area to zoom in
on, hold down the left mouse button, and without letting up on the button, move the mouse to the other
corner of the area to zoom in on. When the mouse is being dragged to the second corner, a rectangle
will show the zoom area. Note that after a zoom, the graph can be zoomed again to go even further in.
To restore the graph to the full view, click on the “Undo Zoom” button.
To export the graph to a file or clipboard for use by other windows programs, click in the “Export”
button. A window will appear with choices about where to send the graph.
To print the graph, click on the “Print” button. The graph will be sent to the default windows
printer.
