8.4 The Data Visualizer User Interface
The Data Visualizer user interface (shown without displayed data in Figure 81) relies
on the following controls and output:
(i) Menu bar items, which are used to close the system, connect to a Data
Server, filter which sensors can be displayed, configure and save
plots
, and
define date boundaries on displayed data.
(ii) Combo boxes, which are used to list Data Servers, select gliders and
sensors for display, show
plots
, and define displayed axis.
(iii) Mouse rightclicking, which can be used to print, zoomin and out, and save
the display.
(iv) Mouse leftclicking, which can be used to rubberband regions of data for
zoomin.
To view stored data, the Data Visualizer must be connected to a Data Server by
indicating the server name. If not already connected, this can be achieved using the
following steps:
1.
Select Server/Add Data Server, from the Data Visualizer’s menu bar. An ‘Add Data
Server’ dialog (similar to that shown in Figure 82) will appear.

Enter the Data Server name and select OK. Note that port number 6600 will be used
to communicate with the Data Server.
