2.3.2b Graphing Data
The PanaView network tree has already been described, and the display pane shows only a graph in the default style
with no data points. The bottom right pane enables you to set up the graph. To begin graphing your data, proceed as
follows:
1.
Expand the network tree as far as necessary and double click on the process parameter to be graphed. The grid for
the selected graph appears in the display pane, with
Time
as the x-axis and the parameter
Value
as the y-axis. In
addition, a
legend
appears above the graph, which indicates the name, data point shape and line color for that
parameter.
2.
If desired, a second parameter may be added to the graph by repeating Step 1. In this case, the parameter
“Value”
is
shown as a
right
y-axis (Y2).
Note:
Although only two parameters may be graphed for any one meter channel, the same two parameters may also
be graphed for any other active meter channels.
3.
To begin plotting data for the selected parameter(s), enter a time
Interval
for data sampling in the text box provided
(the default value is 5 seconds).
4.
Click on the
[Plot Continuous]
control button to begin graphing the selected process parameter(s) as a function of
time, at the interval specified in Step 3.
5.
While PanaView is graphing the data, the following actions may be taken from the control pane:
•
change the sampling interval by entering a new value
•
click on the
[Zoom Out]
control button to increase the size of the intervals shown on the x-axis
•
click on the
[Zoom In]
control button to decrease the size of the intervals shown on the x-axis
Note:
The zoom buttons may be clicked multiple times to enhance the effect.
•
click on the
Text Display
tab to view the data being graphed in the text format described in the previous section
When you have finished graphing your data, click on the
[Stop]
control button, which has replaced the original
[Plot
Continuous]
control button.
For further information on setting up graph properties, refer to Chapter 5,
