3.27 POWER CLAMP METER TEMPLATE

Refer to the DataView® Help files for detailed information about using the
templates.

607 Template

The Trend Summary Report template generates a view with a worksheet for
each recorded parameter and a cover page.

You can move between the worksheets b y selecting the desired worksh eet from
the worksheet tabs at the bottom of t he view (just above the status bar).

The first worksheet is the Cover Sheet and provides information about the
recording session. The following i llustrates the Cover Sheet:

57

The Cover Sheet is used as a cover sheet for the report and contains the
following frames:

• Text Box - containi ng the text “Trend Summary Report”.

• Session Summary - containing the name of the database used to
generate the report.

• Session Summary - containing operator information.

• Session Summary - co ntaining test site information.

• Session Summary - containing operator comments.

®

• OLE - containing the AEMC

Instruments logo.

Using the associated properties window customizes each of these frames. The
properties window for a fram e is displayed by selecting t he frame, then selecting
the Properties command from the Fr am e menu.

The next few worksheets are used to view the recorded trend channels and
contains the following frames:

• Channel List

• Channel Graph

• Trend Summary

• Meter

The following figure illustrates the Trend List worksheet.

58

Channel Graph Frame

A Channel Graph frame provides a graphic al look i nto the dat abase it is at tached
to. The database is attached to t he Trend Graph frame when it is cr eated. This
can be done manually by placing a graph frame or automatically when using a
template.

The graph frame provides addit ional tools for viewing the underlying databas e.
These tools provide zoom an d pan operations. In addit ion, individual traces and
waveform snapshots can be selected us ing the Select Frame tool.

Normally, the Select Frame tool is used to select a frame for modification. In
addition to selecting the Graph fram e, this tool is used to se lect individual t races.
A trace is selected if any par t of it is drawn within a fe w screen pixels of where
the selection tool is when the left m ouse button is pressed.

When a trace is selected, handles similar to those of the frame handles are
drawn over the trace. If more than one trace is drawn within the proximity of t he
selection tool, when clicked again, the next trace will be selected. This will
continue until all traces withi n the selection tools proximity have been s elected.

59

At which point, clicking the left mouse button again will select the fir st trace and
the process will repeat.

Frames can be linked together so that when you select a trace or line in one
frame another frame shows additional information about the selection. For
example when selecting a trace in the graph the trend summary list will be
updated to list the sample points f or the selected trace.

Linking frames can create a compl ex interaction b etween frames. For additional
information refer to the DataVie w

The channels selected for dis play and the display properties can be changed at
any time using the Channel Graph Properties window. The Channel Graph
Properties window can be displayed by right-clicking the mouse pointer while
positioned over the Graph frame, then selecting Properties from the pop-up
menu.

The display extents of the C hannel Graph f rame can be chang ed by using z oom
and pan operations. By zooming and panning you change the starting and
ending times of the displayed data. By changing the startin g and ending display
times, you can zoom in, zoom out, pan left and right, pan to star t and pan to the
end of the measurement data.

To change the display extents of a graph f rame, s elect the frame usi ng either t he
frame selection tool

or Zoom Tool

. Next, use a zoom or pan
command from the Zoom menu, or from t he toolbar. B y clicking a nd dragg ing the
Zoom Tool across the desired area of the graph, yo u can select a n area to zoo m
in on.

Channel List Frame

The Channel List frame is a f rame attached to either a Channe l Graph or Micro­Graph frame. In the case of thi s template, the pare nt is a Channel Gra ph frame.
The Channel List frame displays a te xtual list summar y of the channels ava ilable
in the recording. Each summary line contains user-specified parameters of a
specific channel recording.

You can specify the displayed parameters and gener al display options using the
Channel List Properties dialog box.

You can step between list entr ies. Selecting Pan To Start, displays the first list
entry. Selecting Pan To End, displays the last list entry. Selecting the Step Right
or Step Left, d isplays the next or pr evious list entr y. When stepping thro ugh the

60

list entries, the selection will move from each entry for the associated channel.
In addition to stepping throu gh the list with the tool bar, yo u can select a spec ific

entry listed using the mouse pointer. The text for the selected entry will be
highlighted, indicating which entry in the list is currently sele c ted.

Session Summary Frame

The Session Summary frame is a fr ame attached to the Channel Graph frame.
This frame displays a textual summar y of its parent frame. You can customize
the summary text displayed, using the Session Summary Properties dialog
box. This dialog box is displayed by right-clicking on the frame and selecting
Properties from the pop-up menu, or by double-clicking on the frame.

The Trend template contains Sess ion Summary frames displaying the followin g
information:

• Start time and duration of the recorded data and the instrument’s
identification codes. This fra me is in the upper right corner of the first
worksheet.

• Database containing the file name and location of the recording data

• Operator informati on

• Test site information

• Operator comments

The text displayed in the session s ummary frames is static as long as the dat a
within the associated databas e remains static. Session Summar y frames do not
provide the interactive operations available in the Channel Graph and Trend
Summary List frames.

Meter Frame

The Meter frame is a frame link ed to the Channel Graph fr ame. The Met er frame
displays the values of samples at a specific location on the graph. Left-clicking on
the graph displays a black vertical bar. The sam ple values displaye d in the m eter
frame are associated with the time at the location of this vertical bar. Left-clicking
at other areas of the graph will mov e the ver tical bar and u pdate the Meter f rame
accordingly.

Text Box Frame

A Text Box frame displays text at a give n location on the page. The text within
the frame is static, in that it does not change. It only changes when you change
it. This template contains a T ext B o x loc ate d at the t op of the worksheet. The text
displayed within this frame is the t itle of thi s report (T rend Summar y Repor t). The
text, font and other frame properties can be changed using the Text Box
Properties dialog box.
