Graph Window
2. Then enter the desired timespan and summary interval.
Since the starting date and time sets the left-most point
on the graph’s X-axis, the Timespan setting defines the
Right-most point, or the last row of data in a table.
• Enter the Timespan by typing a number and
selecting a value from the pull-down list.
• Enter the Summary interval by typing a number and
selecting a value from the pull-down list. The
Summary interval is used with statistical operations
found on the Series tab of the Graph Properties
window.
• Display times at Beginning or End. This applies to
statistical operations. Applying statistical functions
to readings over a summary interval will yield a
single value for the interval. Select whether the time
stamp for the value should be at the beginning or the
end of the summary interval. Use the “Beginning”
setting when the series must start at the left-most
point on the X-axis.
See Understanding Summary Intervals on page 120
Graph Properties -
Series
The Series Tab of the Properties window contains the settings
that apply to the data displayed on the Y-axis (vertical). Use this
tab to add lines to the graph or columns to a table, perform
statistical operations, control the appearance of the series, etc.
A series is a single line plotted on a graph, or a column in a table.
A valid graph must have at least one defined series, or as many
as eight. Within a series, you can apply mathematical operations
to data sets anywhere in the list or to a previously defined series.
A data set can be any data set listed in the workspace of the open
database. (The open database is listed on the General tab of the
Properties window.) At least one data set must be defined. As
many as eight data sets may be entered. You can perform
statistical operations on a data set, such as averaging readings
over a summary interval.
Follow the yellow numbered steps to enter the Series tab
settings.
1. Highlight a series or data set. Note that highlighting one
of these in the top part of the window changes the
associated properties in the lower half. Highlighting one
of these allows you to modify that line, or add another
series or data set below it. At this point, you can proceed
with either step 2 or 3.
2. Then click a button. There are three buttons:
• New series - Adds a blank new series to the end of
the list. You must then define the series in the lower
half of the window (step 3).
• New Data Set - Adds a new data set below the
highlighted item. You must then define the data set
in the lower half of the window (step 3).
