Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
Graph Window
The Graph window displays data in various formats to assist
reporting and analysis. Flowlink 5.1 can present up to eight
different series of data (displayed in a maximum of four panes) in
the layouts listed below.
Layout - Graph
The top-center of the Graph window shows the main- and subtitles.
Directly below the titles is the legend. The legend shows a
label and a color bar for each series of data. The Y-axis displays
the units of measure and the X-axis displays the time and date.
The bottom line in the graph window displays the timespan
shown on the graph. All displayed times are referenced to the
first data set of the first series. Quick Graphs will round the start
time to the nearest hour or to the nearest fifteen-minute interval
when the timespan is less than ten hours.
If the Display Summary check box is selected (see page 118), the
legend will also show the sum of all data in the timespan for
Total Flow, Flow Rate, and Rainfall; other reading types will
display the average value.
Layout - Table
The graph window can also display the data as a table. The
main- and sub-titles appear at the top of the table. Column
headings are shown below the titles to indicate the series label,
and units. The first column is the date and time, which is always
referenced to the first data set of the first series. The columns to
the right of the time/date column list the readings in each series
of data.
When Statistical Functions are used (see page 123), the column
headings will include the function applied.
If the Display Summary check box is selected (see page 118), the
bottom of the column will show the sum of all data in the column
for Total Flow, Flow Rate, and Rainfall; other reading types will
display the average value.
Layout - Scatter Plot
The graph window can also be displayed as a scatter plot. The
main- and sub-titles appear at the top of the scatter plot. No
legends appear with a scatter plot, and many of the features for
each series are disabled, as they have no relevance when a
scatter plot is rendered. Scatter plots can be displayed with a
Best Fit Curve.
In a scatter plot, only the first 2 series specified on the Series tab
of the Graph Properties window are used, and there must be at
least 2 series specified in order to see a non-blank scatter plot.
The first series specified is always specified on the y-axis, and the
