XY graph - configuration dialog box

Clicking the button Configuration of XY graph in the Connect object palette (or clicking the button On-line graph configuration in XY graph window in the process D2000 HI) opens the configuration dialog box that consists of three tabs:

Basic

Flows

Axes

Basic

The tab Basic of the configuration dialog box allows to define basic parameters of XY displayer.

Description

Text description describing the XY graph.

Graph window

A color of XY graph window is defined by selection from the color palette opened after clicking the arrow button placed next to the example of currently selected color.

Drawing area

A color of XY graph drawing area is defined by selection from the color palette opened after clicking the arrow button placed next to the example of currently selected color.

View on open

Graph table, Pointer, Grid and Common Y-axis checkboxes are used to show or hide the particular parts of the XY graph window after opening. Checked items mean that corresponding parts will be displayed after opening the XY graph. Descriptive graph table, pointer, grid and common y-axis settings may be enabled / disabled in the XY graph window by means of corresponding buttons.

Graph table *

Show / hide the descriptive XY graph table.

Pointer *

Show / hide the pointer.

Grid *

Show / hide the raster grid.

Common Y-axis *

If the parameter is checked, there will be displayed  one common Y-axis for all graphic flows in the XY graph window.

Note: * Parameters cannot be configured in the process D2000 HI.

Flows

The list of flows contains flow description (the column Description) followed by graphic flow type (the column Gr. type). The column Axis contains the axis number for drawing defined flow. In the column Color(s), there are displayed colors of drawing together with additional information (line type, pattern of flow area filling, selected mark,...). The column Units contain the technical units of the particular flow (description and units will be shown in the graph table).

The buttons Change order allow to change the order of flows in the list. The order is equivalent to the descriptive table of the XY graph.

To add a new flow into the XY graph

1. Clicking the button Insert opens the Flow configuration to define parameters for displaying the flow.
2. Click the button OK.
