The zones can be linked so that, when a plot is selected, another zone provides complementary information
about the selection. For example, when a plot is selected in a graph, the summary trend list can be
accompanied by a list of the sampled points of the selected plot.
Creating links between different zones may result in complex interactions. Further information is available in
®
the DataView
User guide, which can be accessed from the Help menu of the main DataView
This model includes the following links between zones:
– Summary of session
– List of channels
– Amplitude indicator
– Summary trend list
The channels selected for display and the display properties can be modified at any time using the properties
window of the graph. This window is opened by clicking with the right mouse button (or double clicking with
the left button) on the desired graphic zone, then selecting "Properties" in the list.
The extent of the channel graphic zone displayed can be modified by using the zoom and pan functions to
change the starting and ending times of the plot displayed. By changing the starting and ending times
displayed, you can zoom in or out and pan left or right or to the starting or ending point.
To change the span of display of the graphic zone, select the zone using the selection or zoom tool. Then
use the zoom or pan command from the Zoom menu or the tool bar. By clicking on the zoom tool and
dragging it to the desired zone, you select a zone in which you can zoom.
List of channels
The "list of channels" zone is a zone assigned to the channel graphic zone. The "list of channels" zone
reproduces, in list form, all channels concerned by the recording. Each line contains the parameters specific
to the use of one channel. It is possible to modify the overall appearance and the parameters by opening the
"Properties" option.
You can move from one entry to another in the list. The "Pan Start" command displays the first entry in the
list, while the "Pan End" command displays the last. The "Step right" and "Step left" commands display the
next and the previous entry in the list, respectively.
In addition to moving in the list in this way using the toolbar, you can also select a particular entry with the
mouse pointer. The text of the selected entry is then highlighted, indicating which entry is currently selected.
Summary of session
The "summary of session" zone is assigned to the channel graphic zone. It contains information about the
recorded session. Like the other zones, it can be customized by opening the "Properties" option.
The Trends model includes a "summary of session" zone containing the following information:
– Starting time and duration of the recording, with the identification of the instrument;
– Database with the name and location of the file containing the data;
– Information about the operator;
– Information about where the work was done;
– The operator's remarks.
The texts displayed in the "summary of session" zone are static for so long as there is no change of
associated database. This zone, unlike the channel and trend graphic zones, is not interactive.
