LIVE VIEW WINDOW

The Live View window can be used to
monitor the sensor readings in real
time at a rate of 2Hz. This screen can
be particularly useful for debugging
and testing purposes and can provide
additional
understanding
theory of operation of the unit.
PLOT – Press the RUN button to
begin plotting the live values on the
screen. When running press STOP to
stop
plotting.
The

window can be used to enable or disable the particular plots on the chart.
SCALE – The x-axis can be adjusted using the slider between 1 and 5 seconds. The y-axis is
auto scale by default however it is possible to scale the y-axis manually if desired by unchecking
the checkbox and entering the required min and max values into the textboxes provided.
PIG DETECTION – If a PIG event occurs and the unit enters DETECTION mode while the plot
is being monitored then this will be indicated in the bottom right corner of the Live View screen
by a flashing "PIG DETECTED" message highlighted in red as shown above.
DATA LOGGING – Each time the RUN button is pressed to start plotting a new .txt log file is
created within ID5001P Config Outputs folder on the Desktop and all sensor values are logged
continuously to the .txt file as long as the plot is running. This data file can then be opened and
analysed later in Excel.
SCREEN CAPTURE – Pressing the SAVE TO JPEG button at any time will create a date and time

then the SAVE SELECTED button
must be used on the Events tab as
