3.5.9 Scale Settings
• Click on the “Graph“ dialogue box and select “Scale settings“ in the dropdown menu,
or select “Scale settings“ at the bottom of the screen.
• Selecting the resolution type and scaling type (refers to the default scale settings):
Resolution settings: Click on the upper arrow button. A dropdown menu opens in which
you can choose among the various resolution settings.
< best fit resolution
< fine resolution
< medium resolution
< coarse resolution
< 1-2-5 resolution: This resolution is in reference to the difference between the
largest and smallest value of the current display range. Scaling is in
increments of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. If a value is exceeded, the
next larger value is used as the scaled range. Example: if the difference
between the smallest and largest value is 49 bar, scaling is from the smallest
value
to the largest value + 50, if the difference were 51 bar, scaling would be
from the smallest value to the largest value +100)
Scaling type of channels:
< Scale all channels separately: when default scaling is applied, each channel is
rendered optimally in a separate window with its maximum and minimum
value.
< Scale channels with the same unit jointly: when default scaling is applied the
smallest and largest measured value overall is used for scaling between these
two values. The same scaling is applied to all channels with the same unit.
• Click on “OK“ to apply the modified scale settings or “Cancel“ to discard your changes.
3.5.10 Keyboard Navigation
• Click on the “Graph“ dialogue box and select “Tools“ in the dropdown menu and
“Keyboard navigation“ in the submenu, or select “Keyboard navig. “ at the bottom of
the screen.
• “Keyboard navig. “ is now highlighted at the bottom of the screen.
• Using the keyboard arrow keys you can shift the viewing area to the right, left, up and
down. Every time you press an arrow key the viewing area is shifted by one grid unit in
the relevant direction.
• If you press the Shift key at the same time, every time you hit the → or ← key the time
axis of the graph is enlarged or reduced respectively. This corresponds to a zoom
function, but for the time axis only.
• If you press the Shift key while hitting the ↑ or ↓ key, you can change the scaling of the Y
axis. This corresponds to a zoom function, but for the Y axis only.
3.5.11 Remark
• Click on the “Graph“ dialogue box and select “Remark“ in the dropdown menu, or
select “Remark“ at the bottom of the screen.
• “Remark“ is now highlighted at the bottom of the screen.
• When you move the mouse over the graph the mouse pointer turns into a square
connected with the "handle" (cf. dot) by a line.
• Using the "handle", click on the approximate position you would like to insert a remark.
The coarser the resolution, the "rounder" the scaling in
the Y axis, meaning the measured values along the Y
axis can be more easily read at first glance.
