Parts and Their Functions

5.9 Line Graph Parts

Line graph parts are available in two drawing modes (see p. 212):

Sampling mode (also called history mode) (see p. 215), which shows the trend of one
or more PLC addresses every n

Block mode (see p. 217), which shows several PLC address values or logging data in
one graph when triggered to visualize the relationship between the addresses

How lines graphs are created is set up in the GT configuration (see p. 21).

The line graph data stored in the GT's internal memory can be converted to
CSV data with a supplementary tool.

5.9.1 Configuration Parameters

The parameters on the tabs change depending on the following settings on the "Basic Setup"
tab:

"Method to Draw" (block or sampling)

"Bar Graph" (only visible when "Method to Draw" = "Block")

"Reference Data" (only visible when "Method to Draw" = "Block")

Select the background color of the line graph.
Specifies whether a frame should be displayed. If yes:
 Whole: the frame will surround the line graph completely.

X-/Y-axis: the "frame" will consist of an x-axis and a y-axis.
Specify whether calibration markings in the shape of horizontal and
vertical lines forming a grid are displayed in the line graph. Select the
number of "rows" and "columns" created by the lines and the line color.
Set the security level to restrict the display and/or operation of the part.
The options available differ depending on the setting of "Bar Graph" and
"Reference Data" on the "Basic Setup" tab:
 Reference Data = Device (see p. 210)
 Reference Data = SD Card (see p. 211)
