The Glider combobox is initialized when the Data Visualizer connects to a Data Server,
so the list of gliders may become outofdate if the Data Server stores data for a new
glider while the Data Visualizer is connected. In this case, the Glider combobox can be
updated by selecting Server/Refresh Gliders from the Data Visualizer's menu bar.
8.5.2 Using the Plots Menu
A
plot
is defined as a combination of:
(i) A glider name
(ii) An xaxis sensor (such as a
time
, or
distance
)
(iii) A collection of yaxis sensors (such as
m_air_fill
,
m_battery
&
inter_depth
)
Since users may want to display the same combination of the above on a regular basis,
they can define and name a
plot
using the following steps:
1.
Select and display the required glider/xaxis/yaxis' combination using the combo
boxes.
2.
Select Plots/Save Plot, from the Data Visualizer’s menu bar. A
New plot
dialog
(similar to that shown in Figure 85) will appear.
3.
Enter a unique name for the plot and select OK. The new plot name will then appear
in the Plot combobox. Selecting the plot in the Plot combobox will then redisplay
the defined glider/xaxis/yaxis' combination (using the latest available data).
