9. Clear the Stream to file checkbox to stop the waveform streaming mode and return
the Waveform Viewer back to its normal mode of operation.
Note
The file created with the Diagnostic collection grows quite rapidly. Typically when connected
via Ethernet to the meter, the file can easily take up 2.5 megabytes per minute. If the file must
be e-mailed, many mail servers only allow 10 to 20 megabyte files or approximately 4 to 8
minutes of data.
10. Use the Chart utilities to control the waveform display. The controls for the
waveform chart utility include:
• Scrollbar - enables horizontal and vertical scrollbars on the chart.
• Markers - displays markers for the series in order to see the data points collected.
• Zoom In - zooms in on both the horizontal and vertical scales centered on the
cursor.
• Zoom Out - zooms out on both the horizontal and vertical scales centered on the
cursor.
• Sticky- forces the cursor to stick to the waveform trace.
• Other keyboard commands - use the keyboard commands as a shortcut to
access the desired function. Right-click over the chart to display these commands
or enter the keyboard command.
