Data Review 

 

   DISCUSSION

   

 

 

Data capture records can be reviewed on the color display as well as on the 

 

 

chart paper.  Typically, the review is done on the display and then sections of 
interest are printed on the paper.  During review, the timebase can be expanded 
or compressed to give appropriate detail of the signal.

Turn encoder wheel to select format to be Y-T Chart #1. 

 

[SET WINDOW] [CHANGE METHOD]

  

Verify method shown is: 

 

Preset – Region of capture window. 
If not, continue to press 

[CHANGE METHOD] 

button until 

Preset – Region of capture window is shown. 

 

[SET START POINT]

  

Turn encoder wheel to 0%. 

 

[SET END POINT]

  

Turn encoder wheel to 20%.  

[EXIT]

 

 

[MODIFY SETTINGS]

  

Set t-expansion: 

x

1.  Note that you can expand or 

compress the timebase for data playback to the chart.  For long data records, it 
is suggested to use maximum compression for the first playback to conserve chart 
paper. Then, expand the playback to get the detail you need.  As you change the 
starting and ending points from 100%, you can expand the playback timebase. 

 

[<<FIELD>>]

  

Verify the Header is ON and the Trig Mark is ON.
