3.5 The Tonnage Monitor Graph Screen

The GRAPH softkey in the main tonnage monitor screen provides the operator or die setter more
detailed analysis of machine forces by displaying tonnage signatures.

Figure 10 shows an example screen viewing peak tonnage information, Figure 11 shows the same screen
when viewing “data window 2” information, and Figure 12 shows the screen when in Pan/Zoom mode.
Notice that the shaded softkeys in these figures change depending on the circumstances.
