Delta RMC151 - Manual (Page 241)

4 Using RMCTools
Plot template sets are for advanced usage, can be confusing, and are hidden by default.
You will likely never need to use them.
All the plot templates together are called a plot template set. Normally, the RMC has
only one plot template set, but you can create multiple plot template sets, of which one
can be active at a time.
See Using Plot Template Sets for more details.
4.9.4. Using Custom Plots
Each individual plot in a plot template can be set as either a Default or Custom plot. Default
plots are managed by RMCTools and cannot be edited. RMCTools will automatically determine
which registers should be plotted and how they are displayed, based on the axis type. In order
to change items in an individual plot template, such as plotted registers and pen color, the plot
must be set to Custom Plot.
To set a plot to Custom:
1. Open the Plot Template Editor.
2. In the Individual Settings area, on the desired plot tab, choose Custom Plot.
Changing a Custom Plot
To edit the plot templates, make the desired changes in the Plot Template Editor, then
click the Download button in the Plot Template Editor toolbar. Update Flash to retain this
plot set in the controller even after power is removed from the controller.
Any changes made to a plot in the Plot Template Editor will apply to all subsequent plots
uploaded in the Plot Manager for the selected plot template.
