4.5.2 Data Trend
Vertex plots gas concentration in the Data Trend window.You may choose multiple points to plot each point a
different colored line on the graph.Data displayed in the graph can be either Stored data from the data log or
Live (a continuous, real-time display, scrolling right to left).
Data can only be stored if datalogging was selected in the Profile Management Utility screen.A maximum of
one year of data can be stored, however faster datalogging rates may require more frequent purging. Stored
data shows only concentration (not location names)
TIP Drag a finger across the
screen to zoom into the
area selected
Information for each point appears in the table to the left of the graph.

Use the Properties window (bottom right) to select locations and data to include in the Data Trend. Selection
options include the
Y axis data: points to display (to a maximum of 8), the data to display (live or stored) and the time span; and
the
X axis data: one, some or all detection values.
TIP Touch Help for additional
information on using the
Properties dialog.

4.5.3 Optional ChemCam
The Vertex ChemCam option provides a means to observe the stains on the last window of a Chemcassette®
tape.It consists of a small video camera located between the Chemcassette®take up reel and the optic head.
The Vertex System records images of the stains in either AutoPicture mode or by a ChemCam Live capture.
See Section 3.6.3 Set Analyzer Window for more information.
Note:
Some faint stains may not be visible via the camera.
To use the ChemCam window, touch Main Screen, Review and then ChemCam.
ChemCam Live
Use the ChemCam Live tab to manually save an image to the ChemCam database.
1. Touch the image you have selected for capture.The border around the image will turn green.
2. Enter comments about the image in the Comment text box.
3. Touch Capture.The border on the image will turn red.
4. When the border returns to green, the capture is complete. Choose an additional image to capture or
touch Close.

ChemCam Database
Use the ChemCam Database tab to review, print or
deleterecords in theChemCamdatabase.The Refresh
button updates the window with records stored since
the window was opened.
Every record in the database includes the following:
• Time and date of capture
• Type of capture (manual or automatic)
• Analyzer associated with the database entry
• Chemcassette®serial number
• Computer name
Additionalinformationfor records stored byChemCam
AutoPicture includes
• Point number which triggered the alarm
• Gas concentration at the time of alarm
• Unit of measure for the concentration
• The alarm level the concentration reached
• The location ID
