separate measurement values and measurement series.
The main task of this program is the graphic display of
readings.
Readings are taken using Testo´s measuring instruments
and are transmitted via serial interface to your PC.
Data is read using Comsoft 3 software, which activates the
interfaces and makes all functions available.
There are suitable instrument drivers available for installing
each Testo instrument/system. They are especially adapted
to the range of instrument hardware and their operation.
Measured readings are logged with date and time. Values
are constantly updated during ONLINE measurements.

If you encounter problems when clicking on a section of the
curve, you have probably clicked on the section of the
curve which is particularly steep. The capturing process
functions better if you select a less steep section. If you are
working with several, which overlap, it is better to work by
zooming sections.
“Display status info”

Notes:
• The section is a time section.
If you have determined a section for a measurement protocol, all of the
calculations apply to this section. Remove the section limits if you wish
to have the whole data sequence calculated.
• Section limits and mean calculation.
Select a measurement curve to determine the time range to which the
following calculations and data saving, if required, are limited. Section
limits, the minimum and maximum of the limited value curve and the
arithmetic mean are all shown in the status bar.
“Compensating curve”
Compensating curves are a help to better assess large amounts of data,
“runaways” are suppressed and the actual curve is imitated using a
theoretical, mathematical function.
Select a measurement curve to show a compensating curve or to switch
it off. The degree of the curve is determined at between 0 to 7 in the
context menu for the curve (right mouse button). 0 degree corresponds
to a pure mean calculation, 1 degree describes the linear trend, a higher
degree helps curves with several minimum and maximum values.
By contrast, if “Mark measurement points” is selected, the measurement
points along the curve are marked. It is only at these points that the
value shown corresponds exactly to the measured value. The curve
between the points comes about through interpolation. If there is a
measurement, the measurement points are interpolated linearly - are
connected by straight lines. The curve can be smoothed if the
measurement is stopped.
Smoothing in this case means that the measurement points are
connected by an interpolating curve. This curve goes through all of the
measurement points. It is, therefore, not a compensating curve. Only the
space between two points is filled by a curve, or a type of spline.

27
Edit the time axis:
You can define the resolution, start and finish of
the view window by clicking twice on the time axis.
- “Relative timing” sets the starting time at 00:00,
the time then starts relative to this start mark.
- “Width” defines a fixed frame which can be
moved over the time axis.
- “Position” defines a fixed section.
Optimise the value range/y axis
For an improved overview, it is better to scale the range of
values for the respective curve. Enter the menu by clicking
on the right of the y axis. The grid can be set via the arrow
buttons or can be entered manually.
Demo file without instrument
Example 1
26
Start by clicking on the respective curve twice and first
adapt the line width and pattern, smooth the curve and
mark the measurement points, if required.
Define the required limit values in “Data sequence” and
define how they are to be displayed in “Limit value display”.
You can click away a curve or reactivate a curve by clicking
twice in the diagram section.
Using the right mouse button in the diagram section, you
will find modification possibilities for background and grid
lines in Pattern.

Example 2
Editing readings
Managing reference data
In diagrams, it is possible to save the data just measured
with the curve of a previous measurement (reference data).
To do this, the reference protocol has to be read from the
file and assigned* to a diagram. Depending on the length of
the reference protocol (relative time scales apply in this
case...), this reference data is visible in addition to the data
from the current measurement, provided it is also shown in
the diagram.
*) determines which view is assigned which curve. Values
can be added to or exchanged in a diagram, table or scale.
Depending on the quality of the view
• 8 measurement sequences from different protocols can
be shown in diagrams
• All of the measurement sequences of a protocol are
shown in tables
Exporting to other programs
for further editing
Open the program parallel to Comsoft 3 to transmit data
e.g. in MS EXCEL®. Drag data from the instrument via
drag&drop over the EXCEL® button to the footnote in the
EXCEL® worksheet.
If a location is dragged to the button, all of the connected
protocols are transmitted to an EXCEL worksheet.
Data can also be transmitted to other programs which
support this function.
You can also use Copy/Paste as an alternative to
drag&drop.
