The basic steps for defining a Graph viewport are as follows:
•
Complete preliminary steps for defining a viewport. See “Initial Setup:
Selecting and Defining the Viewport,” near the beginning of this chapter,
for more information.
•
Select which of three variables (1, 2, or 3) you wish to define, using the
Next or Previous box (located beneath the Define Graph box).
•
Using the Define Graph Var. menu, define the variable:
−
Enable the variable and set the graphing Style – Line or Dot .
−
Select the variable tool – the specific gage, window, or formula
number whose results will be tracked by the graph viewport.
−
Set the variable color (the color of the plotting in the Graph viewport
for the respective variable).
•
Using the Define Graph menu, define the Event , or circumstances under
which the graph variable plottings are updated, and set the Upper and
Lower parameters for the range of the Graph viewport.
Selecting the Variable
You can define from one to three variables for the Graph viewport.
To select the variable you wish to define:
