Historical Data View  

The ValProbe RT stores the data of the current study in its internal memory. In addition to the 
real-time data view it is possible to review this historical data anytime during a study.  

When connecting to a ValProbe RT that runs a qualification study, when switching to the 
Graph View, a progress indicator represents the download of the data to the console. 

When finished, below the graph there are additional controls available to access historical 
data: 

The historical data is represented by the chunks displayed with the timestamp the data was 
recorded. The size of the chunks can be set in the dropdown to display 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 
hours duration. If such a chunk is selected the graph automatically switches to the historical 
mode.  

Following functions are available in historical mode: 

•

 

The headline of the graph changes from Real-Time data to Historical data 

•

 

The zoom allows to zoom and navigate inside the displayed chunk 

•

 

The groups selection works like in real-time view, only the selected group and 
corresponding calculations are displayed. 

•

 

The manual scale button is extended to the scale the X-axis to set the displayed 
time. 

•

 

You can directly display a data chunk by selecting it. 

•

 

A line in the Graph can be used to navigate to any timestamp in the graph and see 
the time and calculation data displayed for that specific timestamp. 

•

 

When selecting the “Sensor Value in table” checkbox the calculation window is 
replaced by the sensor readings for the timestamp selected with the selection line. 

•

 

With the arrow buttons, it is possible to navigate from data chunk to data chunk. 

•

 

The double arrow on the left will jump directly to the first data chunk. 

•

 

The double arrow on the right will jump back to the live data screen and the 
headline of the graph displays Real-Time data again. 

On reconnect to a console, the ValProbe RT displays real-time data, while historical data is 
downloaded automatically to the console for review. The download of historical data is 
indicated by a progress cycle.
