Creating Graphs
The PLMIII software can generate graphs that
quickly summarize payload data. These graphs can
be customized for printing. Just like the reports, the
graphs are generated from the query displayed on
the "Payload Summary" screen. From the "Sorting on
Time Range" example, the graph that is printed
would only contain data from truck 374 during the
month of July 2000, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
It is important to carefully select the query data and
press the "Query Database & Display" button before
creating a graph.
1. From the Payload Summary Screen select the
"Graph" button at the bottom. The Histogram
Setup screen will display
2. Enter the "Lowest Value". This will be the lowest
payload on the graph. Any payloads less than
this value will be summed in the first bar.
3. Enter the "Highest Value". This will be the
highest value on the graph. Payloads over this
value will be summed in the last bar.
4. Enter the "Incremental Change". This will
determine the number of bars and the distance
between them. The program limits the number
of bars to 20. This allows graphs to fit on the
screen and print onto 1 page.
5. Press the "Create Graph" button.
The graph will be displayed based on the query
settings from the Payload Summary screen. The
graph can be customized and printed.

Exporting Data
The data from the database can be exported for use
with other software applications. The data is selected
from the currently displayed query. The exported
data can be put into a ".CSV" file or a compressed
".zip" file.
• The ".CSV" format allows data to be easily
imported into spreadsheet applications and word
processing applications.
• The ".zip" format allows data to be transferred
from one computer to the PDM Software
database on another computer. This offers a
compact way to transfer data from one computer
to another.
CSV Export
CSV stands for Comma Separated Value. This is an
ASCII text file format that allows spreadsheet
applications like Excel and Lotus 123 to import data
easily. To export the data into a ".csv" file, press the
"Export" button at the bottom of the payload
summary screen and select "To CSV". The program
will request a filename and location for the file.
