3.3.3. Show Waveform button
Clicking this will open a dialog that shows the current acceleration waveform.
3.3.4. Polar Options button
Clicking this will toggle the display of the polar options box, the options in the
box are:
• The Propeller/Rotor Mode button pops up a menu that let's you choose the
polar mode for the current job.
• Drop down menus, Axis 1 and Axis 2 let you choose the axes to be displayed
in the points list and polar chart.
• The Point Smoothing text input box is used to specify the number of
readings that are averaged together to produce a single polar point. A low
value will allow more variation in the polar points and the display will react
more quickly to input changes (i.e. changes of RPM). A large value will tend
to smooth out variations in the polar points but will make the display slower
to react to input changes so you will need to wait longer for the point to
settle in the averaged position. The value should be between 1 and 50, the
default is 15.

Fig 3.5. Add Move Line Menu
The Add Move Line button pops up a
menu of possible move lines. Select one
of the predefined move line names and
the edit move line dialog will open to
allow you to enter the move line's
parameters. Before you create any move
lines, make sure that the right profile is
selected (see below) so that the polar
points are positioned correctly on the
chart as you will be using their positions
to define the move line.
• The Edit Move Line button pops up a
menu of the existing move lines defined
for the currently displayed axes. Select
the move line you wish to edit and the
edit move line dialog will open.
• The Profile button pops up a menu of
known profiles so that you can select
the profile for the job.
