4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
A/B SWITCHING
If enabled, this function allows alternative values for Trend speed/interval and Recording speed/interval
to be entered. ‘A’ values are used during normal operation. ‘B’ values are switched-to by job action, as
described in
section 4.7
.
TREND SPEED/TREND INTERVAL
Allows the ‘chart’ speed to be selected either as mm or in per hour, or as an interval. Entering a value in
one fi eld automatically converts the value in the other fi eld. A trend interval of N seconds is equivalent to
1200/N mm/hr chart speed; a chart speed of P mm/hr is equivalent to a trend interval of 1200/P seconds.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second Trend Speed /Interval value can be entered. Trend Speed/Interval
‘A’ is used during normal operation. Trend Speed/Interval ‘B’ is switched to by job action, as described
in
section 4.7
.
Note: Trend speed/interval are not editable fi elds if ‘Circular Settings’ is enabled.
CIRCULAR SETTINGS
When checked, this checkbox causes the Circular Speed/Chart Full/Start At fi elds, described below, to
appear. When checked, the Trend Speed and Trend Interval fi elds described above are disabled (i.e.
they are no longer editable).
Note: If Circular Settings is not enabled, here in Group confi guration, but Circular Trend is ena-
bled for the group in Views confi guration (
section 4.3.4
), then, although the circular chart will ap-
pear, it is unlikely that the chart will contain any trends.
CIRCULAR SPEED
This fi eld allows the chart speed to be selected from a pick list, as detailed in table 4.3.2, below. The
table also shows the number of major and minor chart divisions.
CIRCULAR CHART FULL
This allows ‘ New Chart’ or ‘ Rotate’ to be selected from a picklist. See
section 3.4.3
for details. Table 4.3.2
shows the major and minor chart divisions for each chart speed.
START AT
This item, (which appears only if ‘New Chart’ has been selected in ‘Circular Chart Full’, above) allows the
user to select a start time and/or date for the new chart. The exception is for a chart speed of 1 hr/rev,
which always starts on the hour.
