Test control
The charts panel provides for the display of live channel data. A test must be running to view charts.
To create the first chart, select the desired channels from the Channels list. To add a new chart, drag a channel onto an empty area of the charts panel. Add channels to an existing chart by dragging a channel onto the chart window or by clicking the chart window and selecting channels from the Channels list.
TIP
Change chart options including the default chart type and size in User Preferences.
The chart windows may be resized, repositioned, and configured as needed. To automatically organize the chart windows, click Organize. This toggles between cascade and tile modes. The chart configuration persists as long as the current test setup is selected and remains unchanged.
Chart configurations can be easily saved for use with future tests. The configuration stores the chart types, sizes, locations and channels. To manage chart configurations, open the charts menu by clicking the menu button or right clicking in the charts panel.
To save a configuration, click Save in the charts menu. To load a previously saved configuration, go to the Chart configurations option in the charts menu and click on the desired configuration. Configurations can also be saved under a new name (Save as...) or deleted as needed. To start with a blank charts panel, click New from the charts menu.
Saved configurations are available to any user with privileges to view the Test Control page.
