Function keys
Select Parameter - allows you to change and select parameters to plot. If you press
this, the Change Parameter/Channel window pops up showing groupings and
arrangements of parameter/channel combinations. You have the option to enable/
disable channels for any of the single or dual axis plot display. The plot display area
will resize according to the number of parameters/channels enabled/disabled for
display.
Stacked/Overlay - toggles between single or multiple axis plot views. This function
allows you to view all voltage and current channels in the same, single axis plot or in
separate, multiple or dual axis plots. Multiple stacked plot displays plots with voltage
and current pairs from same channel appearing on the same graph. Dual stacked plot
has one plot showing all voltage channels and one plot showing all current channels.
Clear - clears the parameter display on plot since the strip chart was enabled. Once
cleared, the strip chart automatically proceeds to record data anew.
The Exit key returns to the Real-Time Data menu.
