Apart from permanent data recording on the hard disk, 10 diagrams are available with touchscreen control, on which the
important process data and their curves can be shown. These can then be used to query the trend or peak values of the last
time interval. It is possible to plot up to 10 different values in each diagram. Therefore, in total 100 process values are
available. Each diagram can be given an easily understood name; the recorded (plotted) data is given in the key with the
corresponding colour. The diagram area scaling is shown on the left and bottom edge and depends on the settings entered
in the diagram setup.
The current diagram number is displayed in the status line instead of the page information. The cursor keys are used to
page backwards and forwards between the different diagrams.
The "Diagram" key is used to switch between diagram view and setup.
Data printout
If important diagram curves or settings are to be documented, it is possible to printout the current screen display. After
pressing the "PRINT" key the print window appears for selecting whether to print directly to an installed default printer or into
a print file.
A printer with a USB connection can be set up as the default printer using the Windows interface; this printer is then also
used by the operating program for the HPS-C controllers.
If a file printout is selected a bitmap file is saved in a subdirectory of the program path, this can then be transferred to
another PC via the USB port.
The windows interface is accessed in the "Options" menu and this is described in the chapter with the same name.
The procedure for printing out data is the same in all the menus; however, in the "Table" and "System" menus the output is
in list form instead of the screen view.
Setting up the diagrams
Before using a diagram it must be set up for the respective requirements. The setup page is opened by pressing the
"Diagram" key or by pressing the surface of the diagram. In setup the required diagram number is selected first from the top
left-hand side and if necessary an explanatory name is entered (e.g. "temperature zone 1 - 10").
Diagrams which have been set up can be reset to their original condition by pressing the "Reset" button (all settings reset to
default values and recording function switched off).
