Add Logger Series

 

To add a logger series:

1.Click the Add icon in the upper left corner of the grid to open the Add Series window.

2.Select a Facility (if the intended logger belongs to a facility).

3.If any loggers in this facility are tied to locations, optionally select the Location from the field that appears after selecting the facility.

9.Select a LineType (Solid, ShortDot, LongDash, etc.).

10.Select a Series Color for the series on the chart.

11.Select which Axis this series should use. Series using the "Shared" axis will all reference the same axis. Adding multiple series with "Own" axes will result in several left or right axes plotted on the chart. These series will be color-coded and marked in the chart legend to match the series to which it belongs. If the Axis is left(Own) or right(Own), users may choose to Invert it.

 

 

12.Select whether or not the Plot Band will be shown for this series.

16.Optionally, set the Min/Max values for the series as displayed in the chart. These values are used for the series' plot band and for filtering out values if the Hide smaller values or Hide larger values options are enabled. If no minimum or maximum are set, they will be automatically populated with DT_LOGGER_SERIES.TYPICAL_MIN_VALUE and DT_LOGGER_SERIES.TYPICAL_MAX_VALUE, respectively, if they are not null.

17.Click Add.

18.Click Close when all selections are completed.

19.The series will appear in the view grid at the bottom of the Series tab window.

Change properties for the series as desired. Click the Save icon on the toolbar to save changes. Otherwise, click the Cancel icon on the toolbar to return to the series list.

Axes Tab

 

 

The following parameters for the chart can be set on the Axes tab:

•Show X Axis Label – Especially helpful to show what time zone is chosen using the Time Zone options.

•Show Y Axis Labels (Own) – When series are plotted with distinct (or "own") Y axes, displays labels by each axis. The series name becomes the label.

•Y Axis (Left/Right) Label – Label applied to the "shared" left or right Y axes.

•Lock/unlock Y Axis – When checked, prevents the chart from adjusting the Y Axis scale of the current view of the chart. The default setting is locked. When the Y axis is unlocked, the Y axis scale(s) changes dynamically when zooming in on data.

•Invert Y Axis (Left/Right) – Inverts the values for the "shared" left or right Y axes (values go from low on top to high on bottom).

•Add/remove major and minor tick lines.

•Add/remove Min/Max Y Axis lines.

The following parameters for the chart can be set on the Options tab:

•Show/hide the Grid Legend (above the grid), Chart Legend (below the chart), Navigator, and Scroll Bar.

•Stack Series – If column series are used, the series will be stacked on each other if this option is enabled.

•Show Data Gaps – Gaps in data series will be displayed without lines joining them.

•Highlight Data Gaps – Gaps in data series will be highlighted with a vertical shaded region.

•Show Data Points – Individual data points will be plotted.

•Max Decimal Digits – Decides how many decimal places will be used when displaying individual data points in the tooltip that appears in the main chart area.

•Time Zone Override

oNone – Displays logger's local time (DT_LOGGER_DATUM.DATUM_UTC_DT + DT_LOGGER.UTC_OFFSET_HRS).

oLocal – Displays user's local time (e.g., if user's local time zone is Central Standard Time, it will display UTC-6:00).

oCustom – Displays with UTC offset entered in the adjacent box (e.g., entering "-6" will display in UTC-6:00)).

•Fixed Start Date – Enter a number of days back that the data should be plotted. This will display all data series starting at that date, regardless of what each series start date was when added to the widget. Set "0" to turn this feature off.

 

 

Qualifiers Tab

 

Add qualifiers to Live data. These qualifiers can be used to highlight specific portions of data via a selected color. If a 'transparent' color is selected, then this can be used to hide sections of data, if desired (e.g., if a logger was found to be faulty for a certain period).

Default Options Tab

 

The Default Options tab defines how the widget handles color for the data series. Select the desired option from the drop-down menu.

Default – By selecting Default and clicking Apply, each series (up to 10) that has been added to the chart will get a preset color (by position). Any additional series will be given the color white. Changing the order of series (including deleting a series) WILL NOT affect the colors already set.

 

Position – By selecting Position and clicking Apply, the widget will populate colors according to positions defined in the ST_CONFIG table. If there is no value found for that position or the value is invalid, a default color will be assigned. Changing the order of series (including deleting a series) WILL affect the colors already set.
