Plot Setup Tab
The Plot Setup tab defines the overall plot characteristics - number of axes,
plot layout (title, color, font, grid lines, etc.), bottle firing display, mark line
display, etc. The Plot Setup tab looks like this:
• Show fire sequence: List
closure order to right of plot.
• Show bottle lines: Place
horizontal lines in plot to
indicate data associated with
closures; label, style, and
color define line.
• Redraw buffer size =
maximum # of scans in buffer.
If you scroll, resize, or change
settings, only data in buffer
redisplays; previous data will
not reappear. Note: Not all
scans are saved for redraw,
only scans that appear different
from previous scans at screen
resolution.
• Queue size limit = maximum #
of scans in queue. If queue is
full (SEASAVE has not had
enough time to keep up with
processing), scans are skipped.
For most applications, leave at
Redraw buffer size = 4000,
Queue size limit = 10.
Show mark lines: Place
horizontal line in plot to indicate
data associated with scan
marking (see Marking Scans in
Section 8: Real-Time Data and
Real-Time Control - Real-Time
Data Acquisition). Mark line
label (mark number, pressure,
or both), style, and color
define line.
• Inside and Outside
Background Color: Color
within and outside axes.
• Black text axes: Label all
axes in black (otherwise,
label colors are selected on
axis tabs).
• Show plot shadow:
Shadow effect to bottom and
right of axes.
• Monochrome plot: Black
and white plot.
• Plot off-scale data: See
drawing below.
Plot Title, Title Color, Font,
and Font size. Title placed at
top, center of plot. Font list
depends on what fonts are
installed on computer.
Font and font size apply to
everything on plot – title, axis
labels, numbers on grid, etc.
Grid line use (none, horizontal
and vertical, horizontal, or
vertical), Grid line style
(solid, dotted, or dashed),
whether to place Grid in front
of plotted data, and Grid color
define grid.
• Display downcast only:
Plot only downcast data.
• Enable upcast line colors:
Plot downcast and upcast in
different colors (colors
selected on Axis tabs).
For both, SEASAVE
determines that upcast has
begun when P > Minimum
pressure to determine upcast
and P has decreased from
previous maximum P by
Pressure decrease to
determine upcast. See
drawing below.
Number of seconds between plot updates: Time between each calculation of variables for updating plot; each
display can have different update rate. Faster than 1 sec can be difficult to view. Set to 0 for full rate data.
Plot type, Number of Axes (maximum 5):
• Single X - Multiple Y: 1 X and up to 4 Y axes
• Single Y - Multiple X: 1 Y and up to 4 X axes
