Reasons to Edit a point:
•Rename the Point
•Change data source (chan and
slot)
•Change scale (min and max values)
•Change multiplier
•Change display format
•Change color or line width
•Name – The name you want to give this new point. It is best to
keep names short but descriptive. If the name is too long, it will
be truncated in the chart cursor and legend area.
•Chan: - Use this selector to select the datalog communications
channel for the new point. The selector will display both the
Channel Number (1-128) and the Channel Name (if assigned).
•Slot: - Use this selector to select the slot from the communications
channel that is used to log the desired point data. The selector
will display both the Slot Number (0-78) and the Slot Name (if
assigned).
•Min Value – Enter the Minimum scale value for this point.
•Max Value – Enter the Maximum scale value for this point.
•Multiplier – Enter a multiplier to be applied to the raw data for this
point. Note: The communications system logs all data as
integer with implied decimal locations. Thus if the raw data were
100 and the multiplier is defined as 0.01, then the charted data
would be 1.00.
•Format – Enter a format string for this data point. A "#" indicates a
number, a "." Indicates a decimal point and a "0" is a number but
forces leading or trailing zeros. E.g. if the data is 1.205 then the
following format strings would display as indicated:
# 1
#.# 1.205
0.0 1.2
•Color – Select the color for this pen.
•Line Width – Select the Line Width for this pen.
