Reference Note: This chapter serves as a reference for ChartView, ChartView Plus, ChartViewNET,
ChartViewNET Plus, and Chart Setup Wizard. For very first time start-up of a ChartView application,
or to run through the program tutorial, refer to Chapter 2.
ChartViewNET refers to a ChartView program that has the network feature of the program activated, much
like ChartView Plus refers to a ChartView program that has the enhanced chart feature of the program
activated. The NET and Plus features are each activated by separate registration ID codes; thus it is
possible to have ChartViewNET Plus (when both codes are used). For ease of discussion, this chapter’s
use of the term ChartView also refers to ChartViewNET; and ChartView Plus refers to
ChartViewNET Plus.
Overview
ChartView is a graphic Microsoft Windows-based program that can be used for various data acquisition applications.
The program was designed for ease-of-use with no need for programming or expertise in configuration.
ChartView Plus permits multiple groups and up to four overlapping channels (per chart). These enhanced
features are activated by use of a registration ID code. Please consult your service representative for more
detailed information.
