SECTION 1. THE BASICS

ID-2000 Windows uses a single window to
display one of three different views - Plot
Template, Plot, and FFT. Figure 1-1 shows a
sample Plot Template view that will produce a
single Strip-Chart style plot of the parameter
“Signal_0” versus “Time”.

The Plot Template view is used to define what
parameters you wish to plot and how they
should be plotted. When you start ID-2000 the
Plot Template view is what initially appears in
the ID-2000 application window. You use this
view to select data files, select parameters,
enable/disable plotting features, import/export
data files, and access ID-2000 configuration
settings.

The Plot Template view is essentially a large
dialog box that fills the entire application
window. It contains many different controls
such as buttons, check boxes, radio buttons,
etc. A complete description of the Plot
Template view features and functions can be
found in the following chapters.

The second view is the Plot view which contains
the actual graphs that you defined in the Plot
Template. Figure 1-2 is a sample Plot view
based upon the settings in the Plot Template in
Figure 1-1.
