CHAPTER TEN
DATA STORAGE – SETUP, EDIT, & VIEW GRIDS
10.1 Introduction to Grid (spreadsheet) format
Data is stored in the
PVX-B
in a spreadsheet like format called a
GRID
. A
GRID
is
simply a table of readings. The location in a grid is specified by giving a row and
column coordinate. The rows are numbered from 1 to 99 and the columns are
labeled from A to Z, then AA to ZZ giving a maximum of 52 possible columns.
The largest grid that can be held in the
PVX-B
is limited by the total memory of the
PVX-B
. Multiple grids can be created and stored until the
PVX-B
’s memory is full. If
the user attempts to store a grid in the
PVX-B
when the memory is full, the
PVX-B
will respond with an error message indicating that the memory is unable to store the
new grid.
The
PVX-B
can store a total of
12,000 readings
with a corresponding waveform
stored with every reading. The waveform stored with the reading will depend on what
view the
PVX-B
was in at the time it was saved. For example, if the view is
RECT
,
then a rectified waveform will be saved with the reading.
10.2 Creating a new Grid (File)
Important Note:
This entire section is a step by step guide to successfully create a
grid. The instructions must be used in the sequential order specified, as follows:
