Data Tab
• Data Delimiter: This is the ascii delimiter that appears between data values — Carriage Return, Line
Feed, CR and LF (carriage return and line feed), or User Defined. Enter the User Defined value in the
field below this selection.
• Out of Range Data Delete (Time Trend Chart only): If True, data is removed from the time series col-
lection when its value is less than the bottom range of time.
Defining a Pie Chart
For Pie Charts, all the data values are defined in the Series 1 Data property. The data can be a String, Real
list, or Integer list. Values in a String must be separated by the Data Delimiter character defined on the Data
Tab in Chart Setup (with no spaces within the string). A Real list or Integer list must be linked in.
The data values are displayed as percentages. For example, the string 60,20,20 (no spaces within the string)
would produce a Pie Chart with three slices of 60%, 20%, and 20%. You can define or link up to five data
values for the chart.
NOTE: If you use more than five data values, or the sum of the percentages does not total 100, you will get
unpredictable results.
The labels for the pie slices are defined with a comma-delimited string (with no spaces) in the Series 1 Cate-
gory property. For example, the string value1,value2,value3 would define the labels for three data values.
The Color property is the only value that is relevant in any of the other Series properties. Each Series Color
property sets the color of pie piece for the corresponding data value. For example, the Series 2 Color prop-
erty determines the color of the pie piece displayed for the second data value.
