TempBook User’s Manual, 11-16-00 Using PostView (16-bit) 4-1
Introduction
TempView uses a 16-bit version of PostView, an independent program that allows you to view
waveforms recorded by TempView. As the data file is being created, a descriptor file used by
PostView is also created.
PostView Main Window
The program can be started from a toolbar PostView icon, or from a pull-down menu.
PostView can also be started independent of TempView. Multiple sessions of PostView can be
invoked concurrently to view several data files. To view a data file from within PostView,
select Open under the File menu. When PostView is started from TempView, it automatically
opens the selected destination file. To view other files, use Open under the File menu for the
applicable program’s data files. To place channel waveforms into the window, select the
number of charts from 1 to 16 under the Number of Charts menu item. Selecting N number of
charts will automatically place the first N channels in the charts. Use the Channel Select List
Box (Upper right corner of each chart) to view the desired channel. The Channel Select List
Boxes contain labels that were assigned to the recorded channels by TempView.
The following table explains PostView toolbar items and is followed by a description of
PostView Menu items.
