5.11 Saving the Display Settings, Saving the Link

Settings, and Exiting Historical Viewer

When exiting Historical Viewer, the display settings can be saved. The next time

Historical Viewer is started the display settings are restored.

You can also save the display settings by choosing Save Display Setting from the

File menu. When multiple data files are linked and displayed using the file link display

function described in section 5.7, the display settings at that point are saved, and the link

settings are saved as a link file. If the link file is loaded the next time Historical Viewer is

started, the link settings are also restored and displayed.

The information that is saved to the display settings file is as follows:

• Print title

• Cursor A and Cursor B positions

• ON/OFF condition of the waveform display limiter
• Settings specified in the general display settings
• Mark information

• Zoom factor of the time axis

• Display mode of the time axis (absolute/relative)

• Waveform display area

• The background and grid color of the waveform display area

• Y-axis zone setting

• The active waveform

• Selected group

• ON/OFF condition of the alarm display
• Displayed channel identifier (channel, tag number, or tag comment)
• Group name

• Grid density

Saving the Display Settings

You can save the display settings of the data file. The display conditions are saved to

a file with the .dml extension in the same folder as the data file. When multiple files are

linked, the link status is saved to the link file (.lml extension) in addition to the display

settings.
