Scanner Function Basic Operation and Navigation
Selecting either color option, Edit Plot Color or Edit Background Color opens a standard color
selection dialog box. Select a color, then select OK to close the dialog box.
The Show Grid icon is used to switch a background grid pattern on the data graphs on and off:
• To switch the grid on; select to highlight Show Grid, then select Accept.
• To switch the grid off; select Show Grid twice so it is not highlighted, then select Accept.
The Samples After Trigger setting determines how many data samples are recorded following a
triggering event. The highlighted samples icon indicates the number of frames that are included in
the recording after a triggering event.
The sweep options let you choose the amount of data that displays across the graph. Values are
in sample points, or frames of data. A frame of data equals one complete transmission of the serial
data by the electronic control module.
Graph View
Graph View allows you to simultaneously display up to 16 parameter graphs (Figure 4-6). The
graphs must first be opened in the data list in order to be included when Graph View is selected
from the toolbar. The display defaults to a single graph if more than 16 graphs are open when the
toolbar icon is selected. Should this happen, return to the data list and close some of the graphs.
A toolbar in Graph View allows you switch scale and sweep values on and off, and to return to the
List View. The Data Buffer toolbar at the base of the screen remains active.
NOTE:
i The screen does not scroll in Graph View mode, it adjusts to show only the selected parameters.
