3.3.2 Live Data Functions
Functions Overview
There are several functions you can use on the
Live Data screen. Most of the functions are
activated with the function buttons at the top and
on the right of the screen.
These functions, described in detail on the next
few pages, include the following:
Text/Graph / Graph Merge/Analog –
depending on the type of data on a line,
changes the view of a selected line from
digital to graphical or analog.
Record Data – records the data for viewing
again at a later time.
To Top – moves a selected data item to the
top of the screen.
Print – prints the data currently displayed.
1. Text/ Graph / Graph Merge / Analog
The Text/ Graph / Graph Merge / Analog function
allows you to change the display type for the data
on the Live Data screen. Depending on the type of
data on the screen, you can change the data from
digital to a graphical or analog gauge display.

To change the display, click on the Digital/ Graph
/ Graph Merge/ Analog function buttons.
a. About Digital Display
When the data is displayed as Digital, its reading
is a word or a number as shown for all the lines in
Figure 3.31 on page 20.
Figure 3.31: Live Data Screen-Digital Display
You can change the display of the lines as follows:
If the reading is a word (usually a switch
reading), such as On, Off, OK, etc., the
display can only be in word format.
If the reading is a number (usually a sensor
reading), such as 1.1 V, 23.3 Amps, etc., then
you can change the data display to either a
graph or an analog gauge.
