16. Graph Display - Detailed Explanation
(Note: Riden Calls this ‘Curve mode’ in their documentation)
Graph Mode, also known as ‘Layout 3’, is entered by pressing the
“
◄
”
or
“
►
”
button until the
proper layout is selected.
After running for a short while, graph mode might look like this:
The action of the graph is similar to roll mode in an oscilloscope. The new values are placed at the right margin
(axis) and push the older values to the left.
‘
’ and ‘
’ values are shown in the top right in yellow, under the heading "SET".
Under the "OUTPUT" heading are the values measured at the output of the RD60xx.
The value in green on the right is the current Voltage. Under that, in cyan, is the current amperage (the
load in this case is a 10 Ohm, 20 Watt resistor). Under that in pink is the current Power being output,
which is the product of the previous two values.
Those colours correspond to the units of the lines on the graph. The white/grey line (the topmost line on
the graph) is the temperature reading from the External (EXT) Temperature sensor.
The icons and values shown at the bottom of the screen are the same as in other modes.
The line directly below the graph contains the y-axis per-interval amounts.
(The “D:” is believed to indicate ‘Divisions’ - This is part of the original firmware so cannot be said for certain.)
So for Voltage (green) it is 1.00 Volts per division and the green line is constant, at 3 intervals up, so
close to 3.00 volts (actually we can see it is 2.995 Volts).
