| Additional Features Premium Version |
X/Y-measurment value presentation column display for online visualization Formula channels, online and offline, visualization in Y/t, X/Y,display, column and measuring value list Measuring values through mathematical formula combinable whatever desired Formula data bank Up to 100 formula channels Monitoring of limiting value violations, sensor rupture, PC-soundcard alarm Joining different measurement series, partial measurement may be saved Predefined options available, customer specific development available upon request |
Channel Table:

The program makes a consecutive query to the connected measuring devices and sensors and transfers the data into the channel table
Depending on program version, up to 300 measuring channels may be connected
Up to 100 formula channels
may be defined additionally. Formula channels will be immediately calculated
and shown during ONLINE-measurement.
You may however enter the formula for calculation after successful measurement.
The list of units is extendable.
Limiting values and descriptions may be added to every measuring channel in the table.
Formula Editor:
|
The measurement channels may be combined together to result in any formula. User defined formulas may be added and loaded anytime. In the formula entry, common mathematical functions like basic operations, sine, cosine, ln, log etc are available. The formula functions may be automatically entered in the channel table by clicking the mouse. Databank for Variables |
|
General View:
|
In the general view, 32 different diagrams may be displayed together. A maximum of 3 Y-axes may be plotted. The axes scalation may be choosen as desired. Diagram title, line colors and line types may be modified individually. Limiting value violations in digital and column diagram are indicated through change of color. Important diagram related functions are available via buttons in the toolbar, ex.: -Start/stop measuring -Auto scale X- and Y- axes -Arrange diagrams, entire screen view -Print preview |
|
Overview and zoom range:
|
The overview diagram at the upper part of the screen shows the complete measurement period The highlightened measurement data segment above is shown in the zoom window below. The legend shows detailed informations like name, sensor type, dimension and text description for every measuring value The current measuring value located at the measurement data line will be displayed in the legend. Limiting value violations are red (maximum value) or blue (minimun value). Legends and overview diagram may be switched ON/OFF. |

Documentation:
|
For documentation, all Windows standard output possibilities like printer and plotter are available. The use of colors is optional. Diagrams, measuring value lists and measurement setup protocol may be printed. Different measurement series may be joined and printed together. Partial measurements may be saved as separate files. Measurement value lists may be saved in ASCII or Excel format for further processing. The measuring data may be automatically saved as daily-, weekly-, or monthly files in the standard formats during the measurement.
