Section 5. Real-Time Tools

Trace Options – Displays a dialog box that lets you set the color and

appearance of the trace.

Help – Brings up help for the Graph.

5.1.7.3.5 Additional Capabilities

Vertical Line Marker – Double-clicking a point on the graph will bring up a

vertical line marker on the screen that moves with the cursor. As the vertical

bar is moved across the graph, the

Selected Fields box will display the data

value(s) corresponding to the timestamp of the vertical marker. (If a vertical

line marker is brought up while graphing is underway, the graph will be

automatically paused. It will be necessary to push

Start to resume graphing.)

Zoom and Scroll – An area of the graph can be zoomed in on by using the

mouse pointer to draw a box around the area to be viewed. (Place the mouse

cursor in the area for the upper left of the box, press the mouse button, and hold

and drag the mouse pointer to the desired bottom right corner of the box.) To

return to normal view, press the

Undo Zoom button in the upper right corner

of the graph. (You may also press the mouse button, hold and drag the mouse

pointer up and to the left to return to normal view.)

If you have stopped a graph and zoom in to a region, you can use the right

mouse button to drag the screen and thus scroll to other locations of the graph

at the current zoom level.

5.1.8 Table Monitor

The Table Monitor in the center of the Connect Screen can be used to monitor

the values for one entire table.

To begin, select the table you wish to monitor from the drop-down list. The

fields of the specified table will be displayed in the Field/Value grid.

When data is being monitored, you can press the

Stop button to stop the

monitoring of data. The text on the button will change to

Start and it can be

pressed to start monitoring data again.

The

Interval determines how often data in the table monitor will be updated.

This interval controls how often the table monitor is updated, only when you

are actively connected to a station (by pressing the

Connect button).

When you are not actively connected to a station, the table monitor will be

updated only when data is collected (on a schedule or by pressing the

Collect

Now or Custom buttons).

Double-clicking on a value in the Table Monitor will display the value in a

separate dialog box and allow you to change the value (if it is editable).
