Measurement Name
The Measurement Name is the label that designates a
data source on a graph axis or at the top of a table column. You may want to edit
the Measurement Name to add more information about that measurement
(change “Temperature” to “Water Temperature,” for instance) or to shorten it
(change “Force” to “F,” for instance).
To edit the Measurement Name, use the up and down arrows keys to highlight it
and press
(or click it if you are using a mouse). Type the new name on the
keypad and press
(or press
to cancel).
See “Multipress Text Input Mode” on page 90 for instructions on using the
keypad to enter text.
Measurement Unit
The Measurement Unit is the name of units that are dis-
played on a graph axis or at the top of a table column.
You many want to edit the Measurement Unit to add units to a calculation or
manually entered data set, or to abbreviate or spell out the units of a sensor mea-
surement. For instance, you might change “m” to “meters.”
To edit the Measurement Unit, use the up and down arrows keys to highlight it
and press
(or click it if you are using a mouse). Type the new unit name on
the keypad and press
(or press
to cancel).
