Configuring TrendWorX64 Viewer

Configuring the TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart allows the user to define key aspects that appear in runtime mode.

 

It is recommended that the user connect their trend using the Hyper Historian located within the Workbench. This is allows for the synchronization of historical data with the TrendWorX64 trend.

Creating a TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart:

  1. Open GraphWorX64.

  2. Click the Controls tab at the top of the Ribbon.

  3. Select the TrendWorX64 Viewer button. Your cursor becomes a cross hair.

  4. Click and drag the cursor to create a TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart. Ensure that the chart is large enough to adequately display a satisfactory amount of data.

  5. Double-click the chart "graphic" drawn with the crosshair. This will open the Configure your Control window, shown below.

Configure your Control Window - Properties for TrendWorX64 Viewer

 

Each level of the Control allows you to set its individual properties. In the example above, you would be able to set properties for the TrendWorX Viewer itself, for the Side Panel, for the Tab, for the Chart, for the Plot, and for the Pen.

Commands on Events

 

The TrendWorX64 Viewer is one of many controls that now supports executing commands on events. These events vary per control, but, for the TrendWorX64 Viewer, they include:

To configure the command to be executed when this event occurs, select your chart and go to the Chart tab. Find the Commands on Events section, check Enable Commands on Events, then select the Configure button.

Plot Properties

The Plot properties allow you to select a Plot type based on Line, Area, Bars, Circular or Pie. To assist with selection, you can choose to Hide legacy plot types (Recommened) via checkbox at the bottom of the window. Users can also combine  multiple plot types in a single TrendWorX64 Viewer chart. See HERE.

Plot

Plot type

Line

 

Line

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as a line. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Spline

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as a spline. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Stepped Line

This plot type samples from a pen (data source) as a step-line. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

XY

This plot type samples from two pens (data sources) into a single line. Resulting samples in the current time window of the viewer are plotted against the X and Y axis.

 

Area

 

Area

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as an area. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Spline Area

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as a spline area. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Stepped Area

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as a step-area. Sample's value are plotted against time stamps.

Stacked Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as areas stacked on each other. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Stacked Spline Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as spline areas stacked on each other. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Stacked Stepped Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as stepped areas stacked on each other. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

100% Stacked Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as areas stacked on each other and normalizes them to fill entire space. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

100% Stacked Spline Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as spline areas stacked on each other and normalizes them to fill entire space. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

100% Stacked Stepped Area

This plot type draws samples from pens as stepped areas stacked on each other and normalizes them to fill entire space. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

 

Bars

 

Bar

This plot draws samples from a pen (data source) as parallel bars. The height of each bar represents a sample's value.

Stacked Bars

This plot type draws samples from pens as bars stacked on each other. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

100% Stacked Bars

This plot type draws samples from pens as bars stacked on each other and normalizes them to fill entire space. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

Histogram

This plot draws samples from multiple pens (data sources) as parallel bars. The height of each bar represents a pen's value for the current instant.

 

Circular

 

Circular

This plot type draws samples from a pen (data source) as a line in a circular chart. Sample's values are plotted against time stamps.

 

Pie

 

Pie

This plot type draws samples from multiple pens (data sources) as slices of a pie. The size of each slice represents each pen's value for the current instant.

Using the Chart Ribbon

  1. Click on the chart to select it. This opens the Chart tab in the TrendWorX64 Ribbon.

  2. The user can customize and configure their TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart using the buttons on the Chart tab shown below.


    From here, the user has access to 10 different sections that feature 30 total buttons, each with a separate configuration purpose. See TrendWorX64 Viewer Configuration Ribbon (Chart) for more information on what purpose each button serves.

Using the Pens Ribbon

  1. Once the user has adequately configured their TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart using the buttons on the Chart tab, they can configure the Pens within their chart (as shown below).



    From here, the user has access to 4 different sections that feature 15 total buttons, each with a separate configuration purpose. See TrendWorX64 Viewer Configuration Ribbon (Pens) for more information on what purpose each button serves.

    Once the user has adequately configured their TrendWorX64 Viewer Pens using the buttons on the Pens tab, they can enter Runtime mode.

    Click the Runtime mode button located at the top right of the GraphWorX64 window, as shown below.



    Once in Runtime mode, the TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart begins to display data. The standard Runtime ribbon is open, as shown below.


  2. Click on the TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart. The Ribbon becomes the TrendWorX64 Runtime Ribbon as shown below.



    From here, the user has access to 5 fields with 21 total buttons, each with a separate Runtime configuration purpose. See TrendWorX64 Runtime Ribbon for more information on what purpose each button serves. The greyed out buttons are available only in Freeze mode.

    Within Runtime mode, a smaller version of the TrendWorX64 Runtime Ribbon appears above the TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart as shown below.



    Freeze mode plays a key role in the available Small Ribbon options. When not in Freeze mode (shown above) the smaller ribbon provides the user with a similar group of options as the original TrendWorX64 Runtime Ribbon. The primary difference is the lack of the Freeze mode button on the Small Ribbon, which is only available on the Ribbon located at the top of the window.

    Click the Freeze mode button to activate it. The previously greyed out options are now available on the original TrendWorX64 Runtime Ribbon.


    They are also available on the Small Ribbon above your TrendWorX64 Viewer Chart, as shown below.



    See TrendWorX64 Runtime Data Analysis for more information on what purpose each button serves.
