Note: ChartView Plus has Chart Setup Wizard options including Moderate and Advanced Automatic
Chart Creation, as well as the ability to create multiple groups. ChartView Plus features can
be unlocked by use of an authorized registration ID number as an unlock code. Contact your
service representative for more detailed information.
The chart setup determines how your ChartView Main Window will appear in regard to the number of
groups available for viewing, the number of charts shown for each selected group, and the number of
overlapping channels in each chart (not to exceed 4). As stated in the previous note, only
ChartView Plus allows the use of multiple groups and overlapping channels.
You can choose to manually create a configuration, or have one created automatically. In addition, you
can use Chart Setup Wizard to make a rough display configuration, and then manually fine tune it. The
automatic setup method offers three choices: Simple, Moderate, and Advanced.
The “Manual Chart Creation” option provides you with the same capabilities as the Advanced
Automatic Setup selection, but allows you to vary the number of assigned channels per chart, as well as
vary the number of charts per group.
