feature. The “Plus”
version can make use of Simple, Moderate or Advanced automatic chart creation functions of the wizard;
however, the standard version is resricted to use of Simple mode. Discusssion of the

(
Personal DaqView
) programs, with exception that the
XL
version programs are “add-ins” to
Microsoft Excel
TM
and run from within the
Excel
environment. The XL version software allows you to
make use of
Excel’s
associated macros. Users of the

Groups, Charts, & Channels
Before continuing with this section, it is important that you
understand the chart display structure in terms of groups, charts
and channels.
Group
refers to a group of charts. Note that
Personal DaqView
Plus
allows up to 64 groups, depending on the capabilities of
your PC, but can only display one group at a time.
Chart
refers to display area, which reflects real-time channel
data values for a selected channel and can be scrolled at various
rates. You can assign up to 16 charts per group. The standard
version of
Personal DaqView
is limited to displaying one
channel per chart.
Personal DaqView Plus
can display up to
four overlapping channels per chart.
Channel
refers to a signal channel. Channels will be displayed
in units of °C, °F, °K, °R, mV, V, Hz, or kHz, depending on the
configuration.
When starting the program with no configuration file present,
Personal DaqView
creates a display configuration of one group,
one chart, and one channel (the first active channel found). You
can change your chart display configuration through use of a
dialog box or
Chart Setup Wizard
. See pages 4-31 and 4-37
respectively.
Chart Display Window
The
Chart Display Window
allows you to view scrolling charts for selected channels in real time. You can
access this window by selecting the
Display Scrolling Charts
button (located in the toolbar of the
Main
Control Window
). The
Chart Display
window contains four Pull-down menus, a toolbar, chart region, and
channel information region.
