3.13 Browsing, Searching, Compressing and Expanding Data

If the Graphics Area is displaying the full screen Trend Chart or the full screen Alarm/Events Data Window, the
BROWS button appears in the Main Button Bar. The BROWS button allows the user to browse, search or
compress either data from the disk/card (including the file currently being recorded to disk/card) or immediate past
data which is buffered to memory (RAM). The operation of browsing is the same whether the user is browsing
memory or file data. When using the Trend Chart, browsing allows the user to view historic data of the pens
currently trending on the display or saved on the disk/card, without affecting any real time data acquisition. Alarm
data can also be browsed from memory when using the Alarm/Events Data Window.
When on the full screen Trend Chart, the BROWS button on the Main Button Bar brings up the Browse Source
Button Bar with three buttons: FILE , RAM and EXIT, as shown in Figure 3-14 below.
Press the FILE button to browse prerecorded files on the disk/card. Press the RAM button to browse Trend data
from memory. Press the EXIT button to return to the real time view.
