You can also click the Viewer The Open dialog box opens. 3 button on the toolbar. 4 5 App Index File information This information is also printed when the display data is printed 3. Select the file you wish to load and click Open. The waveform display window opens.
3.1 Loading Data Files Note If you open a file (file created by recording the data of multiple units (MX100s)) created using MXLOGGER (software sold separately), a confirmation dialog box opens with a message “This file is not synchronized. Synchronize data file?” If you click No, a Select Unit No. dialog box opens. Click the desired unit number button to display the measured data of the corresponding unit and the computed data of MXLOGGER.
3.1 Loading Data Files Synchronization The Integration Monitor of the MX100 Standard Software sends PC’s time information to the MX100 at measurement intervals. The PC’s time information is received along with the measured data when the data is received from the MX100. When measured data is recorded, the PC time information is also recorded. 1 2 3 Viewer PC Packet 4 PC Time 5 Packet MX100 PC Time Measured data ... ...
3.1 Loading Data Files The following limitations exist in the joining of files through synchronization. • If any of the divided files are missing, the files after (or before) the missing file are not joined. • If the total number of measured data points in the divided files exceeds 5 million, only files that would not cause the total number of displayed data points to exceed 5 million are joined.
3.1 Loading Data Files • • 1 2 3 Viewer • Even when synchronization is performed, the files before synchronization (.mxd extension) are not deleted. If you change the PC’s time while data is being monitored on the Integration Monitor of the MX100 Standard Software, the error in the clock counter value per millisecond of the PC used in the synchronization process will become large.
3.2 Display Settings Procedure Changing the Display on the Waveform Display Window Change the display settings according to the explanation is the figure below.
3.2 Display Settings 1 Changing the Display Using the Menu Choose appropriate commands from the Edit, View, and Window menus to change the display.
3.2 Display Settings Explanation Display Groups and Group Names The values of each channel that are loaded are divided into groups that were used during recording and displayed using waveforms or numeric values. The measured/computed values can be divided into up to fifty groups. Up to thirty-two channels can be registered to a single group. If you click the channel selection button on the General Display Settings window, the Channel No. dialog box opens (see the figure below).
3.2 Display Settings Maximum and Minimum Values of the Y-Axis and the Display Format of the Y-Axis Values The maximum and minimum values of the scale on the waveform display can be changed. If you click the Scale Calc. button on the General Display Settings window, the maximum and minimum values of the Y-axes on the selected channels are calculated automatically according to the maximum and minimum values of the data. The scale values can also be displayed using logarithmic format as shown below.
3.2 Display Settings • Full zone Displays all the waveforms over the full zone of the waveform display area regardless of the Zone settings on the General Display Settings window. A single Y-axis scale of the active channel can be displayed. Select full zone Waveform display area (full zone) • Slide zone Displays the waveforms by slightly offsetting the display position of each waveform vertically regardless of the Zone settings on the General Display Settings window.
3.2 Display Settings • Multi-axes zone All the specified Y-axis of the displayed waveforms are aligned horizontally. To hide a Y-axis, clear the Y-axes check box on the General Display Settings window. The display position is set using Zone on the General Display Settings window. Dragging the channel bar to the waveform display area shows the Y-axis of the corresponding channel. Dragging the Y-axis to the zone display area hides the Y-axis of the corresponding channel.
