4.13 Browsing Historic Data
It is possible to browse through historic data that may no
longer be visible on the live trend. To do this you need to
tap the browse button (left) on the bottom right of the live trend
display as shown on the right.
This will bring up the Browse Display window (See Figure 4-
13.2), which essentially freezes the current display (live data is
still updating in the background) and retrieves data from a buffer
holding the historic data through the time the browse button was
tapped.
Note the “envelope” icon on the trend indicating an
embedded memo or bitmap file. Tap this
icon ONCE to view the contents – see below .
On the Browse Display it is possible to limit the number of traces
on the display or add markers to easily identify points on the
traces. The Browse Display will open and show the last current
data. Use the slider bar to navigate back through historic data.
Data can be expanded or contracted using the Zoom % drop
down menu and the user can jump to memos, specific times and
max or min values.
The controls available are as follows:
Markers On – The trace is actually made up of distinct
points with an interpolated line between them. Tapping
this icon will place markers on the actual points on the trace. This
helps identify the actual data points on the trend. This can be
seen in
Figure 4-13.4 below.
Markers Off – Tapping this icon will remove the markers
from the traces. This icon will only be visible if the
markers are currently on.
Cursor – Tapping this icon turns on the cursor which
allows unique identification of the points.
Go – Proceed to the (next) instance of the ‘jump to” drop down dialog (memo in Figure 4-13.3). Jump
options are memo, time, Ymax and Y min. See below.
Go from Start – Start at the beginning of data (most recent) and proceed to the next instance of the ‘jump
to” drop down dialog (memo in Figure 4-13.3)
