Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
Menu Commands
When a site’s data set is highlighted, Flowlink will use the
default graph properties (Utilities>Options from the menu), then
select the graph defaults tab, page 39, for the display settings.
When a site is highlighted in the workspace, the Quick Graph
button or (Item>Quick Graph from the menu), opens the Select
window so you can choose a template graph. The template is any
graph that has already been created and formatted according to
your needs. Once you have selected a template, Flowlink
substitutes the template’s original data sets with those of the
highlighted site.
Item Quick Graph
with DEFAULT
This graphs the site data using the DEFAULT graph/table
template you specify in the Graphs and Tables folder of the
workspace.
To save a graph as the DEFAULT template, first highlight the
graph in the workspace. Then select Item>Copy to DEFAULT. To
change the properties of the DEFAULT template, right click on
the graph after it is displayed, and select Properties (see page
113).
DEFAULT graphs can be generated by first highlighting a site in
the workspace. Then, right click and select the Quick Graph with
DEFAULT option.
DEFAULT graphs may also be generated while a site Window is
open. To do so, click the DEFAULT button at the bottom of the
site window, or press the F3 keyboard button. A common use of
this feature is to quickly graph the site data before disconnecting
from a site so you can view the data at a glance to check site
conditions.
Item Archive Site This menu option opens the Archive window (see page 29),
allowing you to archive the data from the site highlighted in the
workspace.
