4.4.10 Scale settings
•Click on the “Graph“ dialog and select “View“ in the dropdown menu, "Scaling..." in
the submenu or select “Scaling...“ at the bottom of the screen.
•Selecting the resolution type and scaling type (refers to the default scale settings):
•A new window for "Scale settings" opens
Resolution settings: Click on the upper arrow button. A dropdown menu opens in
which you can choose between the various resolution settings.
<Without resolution settings
<fine resolution
<medium resolution
<large resolution
<1-2-5 resolution: This resolution corresponds to the difference between the
largest and smallest value of the current display range. Scaling is in incre-
ments of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, ... . If a value is exceeded, the next
larger value is used as the scaled range. (Example: if the difference between
the smallest and largest value is 49 bar, scaling is from the smallest value to
the largest value + 50, if the difference were 51 bar, scaling would be from the
smallest value to the largest value +100)
Scaling type of channels:
<Scale all channels separately: when default scaling is applied, each channel
is rendered optimally in a separate window with its maximum and minimum
value.
<Scale channels with the same unit jointly: when default scaling is applied
the smallest and largest measured value overall is used for scaling between
these two values. The same scaling is applied to all channels with the same
unit.
•Click on “OK“ to apply the modified scale settings or “Cancel“ to discard your chang-
es.
4.4.11 Keyboard navigation
•Click on the “Graph“ dialogue and select “View“ in the dropdown menu and “Key-
board Navigation“ in the submenu, or select “Keyboard Navigation“ at the bottom
of the screen.
•„Navigieren“ am unteren Rand ist nun fettgedruckt.
•Using the keyboard arrow keys you can shift the viewing area to the right, left, up and
down. Every time you press an arrow key the viewing area is shifted by one grid unit in
the relevant direction.
•If you press the Shift key at the same time, every time you hit the →or ←key the time
axis of the graph is enlarged or reduced respectively. This corresponds to a zoom
function, but for the time axis only.
•If you press the Shift key while hitting the ↑or ↓key, you can change the scaling of the
Y axis. This corresponds to a zoom function, but for the Y axis only.
4.4.12 Note
•Click on the “Graph“ dialogue box and select “Other“ in the dropdown menu and
“Remarks“ in the submenu, or select “Remarks“ at the bottom of the screen.
•“Remarks“ is now highlighted at the bottom of the screen.
•When you move the mouse over the graph the mouse pointer turns into a square con-
nected with the "handle" by a line.
•Using the "handle", click on the approximate position you would like to insert a remark.
•A Remark window opens. It is subdivided into three parts: text, style and anchor.
The coarser the resolution, the "rounder" the scaling in the
Y axis, m
eaning the measured values along the Y axis can
be more easily read at first glance.

Remark text
<The remark text "%T: %V" automatically appears, which serves as a place-
holder, “Anchor to measured value“ is activated by a checkmark in the
white checkbox.
<Entering placeholders using %T for the actual time and %V for the actual
measured value is not possible unless “Anchor to measured value“ is acti-
vated.
<If you leave the placeholders %T, %V and click on “OK“, you automatically
get a measured value for a specific time (= quick and easy method for enter-
ing measured values in the graph).
<Additional text can be entered, or the placeholders can be deleted.
Fonts
<Here you can change the font size and colour and put the text in “Bold“,
“Italic“ or “Underline“ by clicking the respective checkbox.
<A blue-highlighted box with “Set style as default“ appears. To use these set-
tings as the default font settings, left-click on this box. A window pops up
containing the message “The current style has been set as default“. Con-
firm with “OK“. The message window closes.
Anchor
<The checkbox in front of “Anchor to measured value“ is initially activated
(i.e. checked). To enter text without anchoring it to a measured value, deacti-
vate this function by clicking on the checkbox.
<If the checkbox is activated you can select the sensor (measurement channel)
to which the remark is to be anchored (checkmark in the checkbox of the re-
spective sensor).
<You can also indicate the time at which the remark is to be anchored to the
measurement curve. You can either enter the time in ms or change it by click-
ing the arrow keys next to the time box with your mouse. One click on one of
the arrows => corresponds to a change by the preset measurement rate.
•When you are finished entering your settings, confirm by clicking on “OK“.
•If you click on “Cancel“ your remarks will be discarded.
•After clicking on “OK“ the Remark window closes and the remark box can now be
seen.
If anchoring has been activated, the remark box is linked to the selected curve by
a line. The circle at the end of the line shows which measured value the remark re-
fers to.
If anchoring has been deactivated, only the remark is visible.
•The remark can be edited and shifted later providing the remark function has been en-
abled. Hierzu muss die Anmerkungsfunktion eingeschaltet sein
The position at which the remark is anchored to the measurement curve can be
shifted by moving the mouse pointer over the anchor position. If you hold the left
mouse button down you can drag the anchor to the required position. If you have
entered the placeholder it is adjusted accordingly when you release the mouse
button. The anchor point is always a measured value since the remark is an-
chored to the measurement curve.
The remark box itself can be shifted by moving the mouse pointer over the remark
box (it is now blue-highlighted). Click and hold down the left mouse button and
move the remark box to the required position.
To edit the remark text or manually enter another "anchor time", click on the 3
handles in the lower right corner.
The remark box opens again.
