6-8 PostView WaveBook User’s Manual
Chart Setup Wizard
Introduction
The Chart Setup Wizard feature allows you to create PostView’s initial chart display configuration with an
automated or manual method. When PostView can not locate a display configuration file, it automatically
accesses the Chart Setup Wizard feature. If a display configuration file is located, PostView bypasses the
Chart Setup Wizard.
Note: You can manually activate the Chart Setup Wizard from the Chart pull-down menu (File pull-down
menu in versions preceding 3.4). Activating the Chart Setup Wizard will reset an existing display
configuration. Prior to manually activating the Wizard feature, a “New Display Setup” box will
appear to remind you of the display reset. You can then activate Wizard by selecting “OK,” or
discontinue by selecting “cancel.”
Note: You can edit the display configuration file without use of the Chart Setup Wizard by using the
Display Configuration Setup dialog box. This box can be accessed from Setup in the Chart pull-
down menu (File pull-down menu in versions preceding 3.4), or by clicking on the Chart Setup
button in PostView’s toolbar. This method of display editing is discussed in the section, Display
Configuration, beginning on page -10.
The chart display setup determines how your PostView window will appear in regard to the following:
• number of chart groups available for viewing
• number of charts shown for each selected group
• the number of overlapping channels in each chart (not to exceed 4)
You can choose to manually create a display configuration, or have one created automatically. The
automatic setup method offers three choices: Simple, Moderate, and Advanced.
A Manual Chart Creation, Create Charts button allows you to bypass the Chart Setup Wizard and enter a
manual editing mode. This option makes use of PostView’s Display Configuration feature (discussed in the
following Display Configuration section). Manual Chart Creation allows you to vary the number of
assigned channels per chart, as well as vary the number of charts per group.
