5. Review Configuration.
Reviewing the configuration prior to data acquisition is optional; however, you should complete a
review at this time (in the tutorial) to help with your familiarization of
ChartView . In an actual
application, a review such as this provides you with a chance to correct configuration errors.
◊
(20)
Device Interface
Check the Interface and Status via the Device pull-down menu.
◊
(21)
Channel Configuration
Check channel and alarm configuration settings via the Channel Configuration Dialog Box . Access this box
through the Setup pull-down menu.
◊
(22)
Acquisition Parameters
Check the acquisition parameters via the Acquisition Configuration Dialog Box . This box can be accessed

Data File Parameters
Check Data File Parameters. These parameters can be set from the Data Destination Dialog Box (accessible from
the Setup pull-down menu), and from the Data File Parameters selection accessible from the Data pull-down
menu.
6. [Optional]. Save Configuration File.
Although the updated
Chartvw.cvw
file will automatically save upon Exit, there may be times when
you want to manually initiate a save. This will help you save time if an error occurs that may corrupt
your configuration. You may create a new configuration file by using an existing one and making the
necessary changes. In actual applications, use the File pull-down menu to manually save configuration
files, if this option is desired.
Note: The
.cvw
file contains all setup information. Setup information includes channel information, alarm
configurations, and acquisition configuration information.
7. [Optional]. Check the System Inventory and Device System Time.
Check the System Inventory and Device System Time via the Status selection from the
Device
pull-
down menu.
In an actual application, if the System Inventory and Device System Time configurations were
acceptable, you would proceed to Arm an Acquisition by clicking the Arm Acquisition button (item 10,
page 1-8), or by using the Arm Acquisition selection in the Acquire pull-down menu.
8. Start Charts.

Windows pull-down menu to select one or all of the following:
•
ChartView Analog Meters
•

◊
(25) Select the Windows pull-down menu and try each meter option. Push the triangular play button of each
meter’s specific toolbar to activate that meter.
Meters and charts can be on your computer screen at the same time. They can be re-sized and
repositioned as desired. Analog, Digital, and Bar Graph meters are detailed in Chapter 4.

PostView Post Acquisition viewing program is also selectable from the Windows menu.
