7.8 Customizing the way data is presented
The data presented in “User Views” can be configured according to your speciific needs or
preferences. This applies to the selection of the data and to the way the data is presented: in
numerical format or as a graph.
7.8.1 Setting up tabs in the user view window
The window “User Views” has two buttons in its lower right corner: “Add Tab” and “Remove Tab”.
Removing a tab Removing a tab Removing a tab Removing a tab
Use the button “Remove Tab” to remove an existing sheet in the window “User Views”. In case the
“
User Views” window has multiple sheets, the currently opened sheet will be deleted.
If you want to keep both the set up you started with and the modified version, save the new
version with a new name before closing the program. Use the command “Save Monitoring
Configuration As..” (in File Menu) . This command stores the set up of the information sheets
contained in “User Views” as well.
Adding / creating a tab Adding / creating a tab Adding / creating a tab Adding / creating a tab
Using the button “Add Tab” you can add a new (empty) sheet in the window “User Views” and
create a sheet to your own preferences.
A sheet can be set up as one single panel, or split in two sections, arranged as an upper panel
and a lower panel. Each panel can be used to display data either as a graph or as numerical
values displayed in cells arranged in a grid.
The name of the file defining the format of the presentation in a specific panel can be read in its
upper left corner.
INFORMATION!
Only data that is actually gathered from the flowmeter (as set up in the Monitoring
Configuration), is available to be displayed. A data item not included in the
“ Fetch list ” will not be
available to be displayed. You have to use the option
“
Configure
”
in the
“
Monitoring
”
menu to add
to the “ Fetch list ” any data item you want to see in order to make it available for presentation.
INFORMATION!
in case you made a change, you will be reminded that you changed the monitoring configuration
file when you close MCST. If you accept the modified configuration file to be saved, you will not be
able to recover the deleted sheet the next time you start MCST.
INFORMATION!
The format of the way data is presented in a panel is stored in a file with an extension
“
.grdx
”
(for
presenting data as numerical values),
“
.trdx
”
(for presenting data as a graph, showing values as a
trend on a time axis) or “ .xygx ” (for presenting data as a graph of one variable as a function of
another variable).
