Measurement Computing WaveBook rev.3.0 - Manual (Page 124)

6-10 PostView WaveBook User’s Manual
Display Configuration
Note: When PostView does not find a display configuration file it automatically opens the Chart Setup
Wizard. You can use this feature to automatically create a display configuration. You also have
the option of selecting Manual Chart Creation, Create Charts to bypass the Chart Setup Wizard
and enter the manual editing mode, as discussed in this section.
The Display Configuration button accesses a Display Configuration Setup dialog box. This box will also
be displayed if:
a) Manual Chart Creation, Create Charts is selected from the Wizard Chart Setup window
b) You select Setup from the File pull-down menu
c) You right-click on the chart region in PostView’s window
Note: If multiple chart groups are present in the display configuration, the current group will be selected
in the display configuration tree.
When you first click on the Display Configuration button, a Display Configuration Setup box appears. A
display region shows the configured structure of the groups, charts, and channels. From this box you can
select the number of charts to be assigned to a specific group. With the use of the mouse cursor you can
also select a chart or channel for additional editing.
The rest of this section has been divided into two parts. The first pertains to editing an existing display;
while the second section pertains to manually creating a display configuration from scratch, i.e., there is no
existing display configuration to edit. Both methods make use of Display Configuration Setup dialog
boxes.
Editing a Display
Display Configuration Setup Dialog Box with an Existing Configuration
To explain editing a configuration, we make use of an example in which assumes you want to edit Chart 1.
In the following figure, Chart 1 was highlighted by clicking on it with the mouse cursor. The Display
Configuration Setup box then changed, allowing you to see specific channel types (such as volts only) or to
“Show all Types,” as in the example. From this setup box you can add or delete charts and channels. You
can:
• Use the Shift or Ctrl key in conjunction with the cursor to select several channels for addition or
deletion
• double-click on an available channel to add it to the selected channels
• double-click on a selected channel to remove it from the selected channels list
