A strip chart has two display modes. These are

Single-Channel and Multi-Channel.

To select the strip chart’s mode:

1. Right-click within the strip chart.

2. Position the mouse-cursor over the text “Display

Mode.”

3. Select Single Channel of Multi-Channel, as desired.

Single Channel – When this mode is selected the strip chart will show 4 traces for a single
channel. The traces are for maximum values, minimum values, the mean, and RMS. The top

plot display in the preceding figure illustrates the single channel mode.

Multi-Channel – When this mode is selected the strip chart will show one or more channels,

as determined by the user. When in multi-channel mode, only traces of the maximum values

for each channel will be displayed. An example of a strip chart with two channels follows.

Overlays of XLS Files

eZ-Analyst allows you to overlay an Excel (XLS) file within a
function view, providing that the data type is in agreement with

that in the view. For example, a function view with an x-axis in

Time will not accept an overlay in which the x-axis is frequency.
Likewise, the units (y-axis) must also be compatible.

To overlay an Excel file:

1. Right-Click on the channel button.

2. Select “Overlay XLS File.” The Import Overlay

Function Data Set(s) window will open.

3. Browse for the applicable file. Remember

that the file’s data type must match that of
the data in the function view.

4. Select and open the file.

If the file is compatible, the XLS file will overlay into the display.
If it is not compatible a message box will inform you of the mismatch.

(1) Right-Click on the
Channel Button

(2) Select “Overlay XLS
File.”
