For Plot off-scale data:
For Display downcast only or Enable upcast line colors:
Axis Tabs
Each Axis tab defines a plot variable, scale, and line type. An Axis tab looks
like this (but the first axis tab does not include Line type, Downcast color, or
Upcast color):
Minimum pressure to determine upcast -
set close to expected maximum cast depth
Pressure decrease to determine upcast - upcast enabled if pressure decrease
exceeds this. Set greater than peak-to-peak ship heave, to avoid SEASAVE calculating
that upcast has begun because of pressure change associated with ship heave.
Sea surface
Click Select Variable to choose desired variable. List includes all measured
parameters that are selected in configuration (.con) file as well as all parameters that
can be calculated from those measured parameters. Make selection and click OK.
•
Enter number of Major divisions on
axis, and number of Minor divisions
between major divisions. Example:
With range from 0 - 10 °C, 5 major
divisions provides tick marks every
2 °C; 4 minor divisions provides tick
marks every 0.5 °C
• Enter axis Minimum and Maximum
values to display in plot. Any values
that fall outside Minimum to Maximum
range will plot at minimum or
maximum, as applicable, unless
Auto page this axis selected.
• If Auto page this axis selected,
display pages up or down if data falls
outside minimum/maximum range.
Example: You set up axis for 0 - 10 °C,
but actual cast exceeds 10 °C.
Minimum/maximum adjusts to 10 to
20 °C to continue to display data.
Label axis with Variable name
as listed above, or enter a
Custom label for axis.
Select desired Line type, Line color,
Upcast color, and Axis color (color of axis
title and numbers):
• Line type, Downcast color, and Upcast
color do not appear on tab for first axis
(X axis tab in this example).
• Line color, Upcast color, and Axis
color are grayed out if monochrome
plot was selected on Plot Setup tab.
• Axis color is grayed out if Black text
axis was selected on Plot Setup tab.
• Upcast color is grayed out unless
Enable upcast line colors was selected
on Plot Setup tab.
Plot axis on linear or
logarithmic scale.
Plot axis from highest to lowest
value. Typically used when
pressure or depth is plotted on Y
axis, so pressure / depth starts at
0 at top of plot and increases as
you move down vertically.
