Trends View
The Trends View has the flexibility to allow customization of the view to meet your requirements. The pick lists allow you
to display the data of interest and at any time items can be added or removed from the plot area. It features auto-scaling
options for all axes or manual scaling by simply typing mix/max values at an axis scale. The cursor tool is useful to
compare older data versus present. Electronic Notes may be entered and the notes will be written to the data file with the
following data record. The trends view features are highlighted below which is shown with a PMAT-2PLUS with
temperature as the analog input and TFF calculations enabled. The plot with legend may also be copied as a picture for
immediate placement into a report or presentation.
