Graph Window
5. The “site substituted for when templating the graph”
refers to a site selected from the data set list for use as a
graph template (optional). Type the name of the site or
click the Select… button to choose a site. The default
template site is always the first site that appears in the
data set list. This function is useful when the graph
displays data from multiple sites. The new site and its
data will replace the data from the original site specified
in this field.
Graph Properties -
Time Scale
The Time Scale Tab in the Properties window contains the time
settings. Use the Time settings to control the start time and
timespan displayed on a graph’s X-axis (horizontal), or the start
time and number of rows in a table.
Follow the yellow numbered steps to enter the Time Scale
settings.
1. Choose the starting date and time…. There are eight
choices that can define the left-most point on the graph’s
X-axis, or the first row of data in a table. The first seven
options are always relative to today’s date. That is, if the
graph is opened on a later day, Flowlink redraws the
graph relative to the new date. Flowlink assumes that
your computer’s time and date are set correctly. To verify
that your settings are correct you can review the
“Current time range and duration” block on this tab.
• Today - Starts the data from today’s date at the time
you specify.
• This week - Starts the data at the day of week and
time you specify.
• This month - Starts the data from the first day of
the month at the time you specify.
• Yesterday - Start the data with yesterday’s date at
the time you enter.
• Last week - Starts the data from the entered day of
week and time from last week.
• Last month - Starts from the first day of the last
calendar month at the time you specify.
• Relative - Use this option for those times that
cannot be defined with the choices above. Fill in the
entries to specify the starting point relative to the
current time and date.
• Absolute - Enter the exact time and date to appear
at the beginning of the graph or the first reading in a
table.
When Printing, repeat this timespan a total of __ times - As
a default, Flowlink will print one full timespan. Increasing this
number allows you to print multiple time spans. For example, if a
graph displays a one day timespan but you need seven pages to
cover the full week, enter “7”.
