CREATING & VIEWING QUICK GRAPHS 

 

Almost everyone has their favorite set of channel graphs they look at first when viewing a newly uploaded file. Some 

even want to have the graph lines from the various channels in specific colors. Rather than always needing to click on each of 
the channels individually, and then scrolling through the color pallet on every channel, Racepak provides a method of bringing 
your  favorite  combination  onto  the  screen  with  ease.  This  is  done  with  Quick  Graphs,  a  program  that  allows  you  to  set  up 
channel combinations that can be accessed with just a few clicks of your mouse. 

CREATING QUICK GRAPHS  

 

Step 1: Open any run file

Step  2:  Select  the  combination  of  channel  graphs 

that  you  wish  to  display  as  a  Quick  Graph.  You  can 

repeatedly click on each of the channel buttons you select to change the graph line to the color you want displayed. 
For example, many people like their engine RPM to always be in red, and the drive shaft to be blue.  

Step 3: Click on the Quick Graph icon 

on the toolbar. This is the icon with a picture of a green computer mouse and 

a yellow sheet of paper. The Select/Type Quickgraph Name dialog box will appear on your screen. 

Step 4: Click on the top window 

of the Select/Name Quickgraph Name box. 

Step  5:  Type  in  the  name  you  want  to  assign 

to  the  selection  of  channels  you  have  just  chosen,  for  example: 

ENG-DS-SLIP or Quick Graph #1.   

Step 6: Click 

the 

SAVE 

button. 

Your selection of channels will now be available under the name you assigned whenever you open the Quick Graph 

selection. You can repeat this process to create as many quick graph combinations as you wish. To view the quick graphs on 
any file you open follow the steps below: 

VIEWING QUICK GRAPHS 

 

Step 1: Open the run file

. This can be either a newly recorded run file, or an existing file. 

Step 2: Click on the Quick Graph icon

. The Select/Type Quickgraph Name dialog box will appear. 

Step 3: Select and highlight the Quick Graph 

you want to display. Your selection will appear in the window at the 

top of the Quick Graph selection list. 

Step 4: Click 

on the 

LOAD 

button. The channel graphs for the Quick Graph selection will now be displayed on your 

graph screen in the colors you assigned. 

You can add other channels to those on your graph by clicking on their individual channel buttons, but returning to the 

Quick Graph box and choosing another selection of Quick Graphs will erase all of the channels currently on display.
