Flowlink 5.1 Software Instruction Manual - Isco

Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
used to fill gaps, or to add readings at the beginning or
end of the data. It cannot overwrite valid readings.
Notes:
• It is possible to insert readings that will not appear in
the time span currently viewed on the graph and the
table. It may be necessary to move to the previous or next
time span to see the adjustments.
• When Flowlink combines sites to form a line of data on a
graph or report, it will not combine error codes with
readings. Instead, it will report no data. Changing the no
data codes to simulated readings prevents the codes from
appearing in graphs or tables.
• New values that you can store in the database are
limited to only the resolution and significant digits for
the data set. Viewing the Data set Properties (Highlight
a data set in the workspace and press Ctrl+F2) will
reveal this information.
• When editing, Flowlink saves both the original and the
edited data. If necessary, the original values can be
restored.
Create a Graph
There are a number of methods that you can use to create a
graph or table in Flowlink - Quick Graph a data set or site, New
Graph, and Quick Graph with DEFAULT. Any of these methods
will open a Graph window.
Quick Graph a data set - graphs a data set using the default
graph properties.
To Quick Graph a data set you can double-click on it, or:
1. Highlight a data set in the workspace.
2. Click the Quick Graph button.
The default properties will typically allow Flowlink to present a
graph displaying the latest readings in the data set.
From this point you can modify several items, such as the titles,
to customize your graph (see page 113).
Tip: You can quickly add more data sets to a graph. From the
workspace, click and drag a data set to the open Graph window
and release. Flowlink displays the data set in a second pane.
Quick Graph a site - This method graphs a site using a
template. A template is any existing graph in the open database.
When you quick graph a site, the original graph’s data is
substituted by the data of the desired site, while all of the graph
properties remain unchanged. For your convenience, the
Flowlink database can be pre-loaded with graph and table
templates during installation. The templates, which are located
in the Templates sub-directory of the Graphs and Tables folder,
support many of the common needs of Flowlink users. For easy
reference, each template is identified by a descriptive name.
