[. . . ] It is possible to enable the automatic updating of the graph, which is updated every time a new value is acquired from the system. 5. 3. 2 CREATING A REPORT (TREND) The first step to create a report is to select the (up to 4) variables to be shown in the table. For this purpose, the cross-shaped buttons on the PowerSoft ­ Instruction manual 41 PowerSoft legend are to be clicked after which the variable dialogue box appears. In the dialogue box it is possible to select: the variable and the relevant instrument. The values to be shown can be the real-time ones, or the minimum, the maximum or the average from the last recording on the hard disk. The availability of these different values is set in the configuration of the instrument properties (Configurator), when the values to be stored are decided. The trend can be displayed as a line or as a histogram, according to the selection in the graph type box. The Show button changes the variable on the graph, while Cancel leaves the previously displayed trend. Once the variables are configured, the period of time to be analysed is to be set in the graph tool bar. By means of the button, it is possible to select the desired date. The extension of the displayed time period is to be selected among 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month (respectively using the 1, 7, or 31 buttons). To change the base date, the two arrows can be used. They increase or decrease the actual date respectively by 1, 7, or 31 days according to the selected time period. The trends of the selected variables are now displayed in the graph area. PowerSoft ­ Instruction manual 42 PowerSoft 5. 3. 3 PREDEFINED TRENDS To simplify the use of this module, a series of predefined trends are available using the box in the top left square. For each instrument, selectable in the upper box, a number of predefined combinations of variables can be selected. The chosen variables of the instrument are displayed with reference to the current day. It is then possible to modify one or more variables or instruments, or modify the displayed date or period. NOTE: other predefined trends can be added to the system. Please contact the supplier for the relevant instructions. 5. 3. 4 OTHER TOOLS Other tools, such as the zoom, the cursor, the colour customisation, and the comparison with the tariffs are available. 5. 3. 4. 1 THE ZOOM The trends can be analysed in detail using the zoom function. To zoom a graph, click on a point of the graph area and drag the mouse to the bottom right direction. The rectangle identified in this way represents the part of the graph that will be enlarged. To return back to the original graph, press the unzoom button on the very right of the tool bar. PowerSoft ­ Instruction manual 43 PowerSoft To unzoom the graph, it is also possible to drag the mouse to the top left direction. 5. 3. 4. 2 THE CURSOR To better display the mouse position in order to analyse and compare the graph values in the variables boxes, it is possible to use a cursor. Pressing the relevant button, in the right of the tool bar, a vertical line is associated to the mouse standard cursor. To disable the cursor, press the button again. 5. 3. 4. 3 DISPLAYING OF THE TARIFFS This function is available only if the optional module PWS-Tariff is available. Clicking the T button on the tool bar it is possible to display, in the background of the graph area, the different colours associated to the tariffs.
