Copying the plotting data
This function replots using all the data from beginning to the end. Select [Allplot] if you need two or more plots
with the same plotting data.
Press the
key twice with the top menu displayed.
Main menu 2
[Waiting Time]
OFF
All data received from the computer is interpreted as plotting data for one page, regardless of transmission timing.
For example, if plotting data for one page is sent from the computer and then, after changing the paper, data for a
second page is sent, the DPX interprets this as continuous data, and two superimposed plots are created if replot is
activated. Make sure that the amount of data does not exceed 1 Mbyte.
ON (when marked with an asterisk)
When ten seconds have passed since data has been transmitted from the computer, the DPX concludes that
reception of one page of plotting data is complete. Data transmitted after more than ten seconds have passed is
interpreted as plotting data for the next page. Replotting is performed using the data which was last sent from the
computer.
When waiting time has been set to ON, then if the data for a single plot is split in two and a pause occurs between
sending the two sets of data, the two sets will be interpreted as two different plots. At this time, if a scale setting
instruction or similar instruction establishing the entire plot appears only in the first set of data, then the second set
will not be plotted in the correct position.
Be sure to send the next batch of data within the time set for the waiting time, or set waiting time to OFF.
Replotting for a portion of the data
Replotting of part of the data is a available after completing the plotting, when an imperfection (such as a blurred
line) is found.
Selecting the range to be reploted [Area]
Select the perimeter within which corrections are to be made as either a 1 cm (3/8") or 5 cm (1-15/16") square.
The whole line, including any part which protrudes beyond the correction perimeter will be redrawn, as long as
part of the line is located in the correction perimeter.
