All presentations require selection of the required start date and times. Graphs may be used to display two
different traces, the extreme values of the 'Y' axis ranges may be determined via the 'Options' 'Edit
Graph Scales' menu or alternatively by using the 'Edit Trace' option when selecting the trace(s) to be
plotted.
All presentation formats can be printed using the 'Print Window' option within the 'File' menu.
Data files are automatically saved as daily files using a comma separated text format which may be easily
imported into many commercial spreadsheet, data base or word processing applications.

The Heat Stress Monitor software incorporates an ALARM facility. Any or all of the sensor channels can
be used to initiate an alarm upon reaching a pre-set value.

title bar of the window will also flash.
