16 Interpreted data in the Graphic module

To view the development over time of individual signal values and the relation between the signals, the Graphic module offers graphic display. Insert the Graphic module into your canAnalyser configuration and start it. Before the module can be used a database must be loaded. Load the previously created file "SampleDB.xml".

In addition the signals to be displayed must be selected in the Graphic module: Either

select the menu point Functions | Select Signals... or
use the button in the toolbar.

In the dialog that appears, the available variables are listed on the left. These are included in the selection on the right after selection and clicking the >> button. Below this it is possible to select in which color and in which coordinate system the signal is to be displayed. When these settings have been made for all three signals, close the dialog box and start the Graphic module. The message source is again the script file "Signal.prf", whose processing you start in the Sequencer module.


The program window of the Graphic module is divided in two. The top half shows the signal values in their development over time, whereas in the bottom display area the saved database variables and the current values are displayed in text. After stopping the display via Functions | Stop, you can also analyze the data more closely. Scroll and zoom to a time period to be evaluated. Position the cursor with one mouse click on the graph to determine exact variable values. These are issued in the Graphic module in the lower part of the window under Cursor value.
