Charts – Process Data
From the MONITOR menu, selecting the Charts > Process Data tab will open machine variables including material production, speeds, and temperatures can be tracked individually from the charts in this section. Users have the option of using a Single Line chart or a Multi-Line chart. The other key feature of Process Data chart is the ability to choose an interactive charting mode.
After selecting a category and data point, and choosing time parameters if desired, press the 
icon to view the chart. Hovering over the displayed line graph will display values.
Toggle auto-refresh using the 
icon (when active, chart refreshes once per minute).
Save currently displayed chart settings for easy access by pressing the save icon (saved charts will be listed under the Saved menu item below Process Data).
Choosing the Single Line option will track a single variable, as well as statistical information. On the other hand, choosing Multi-Line allows for tracking up to six different variables at once, and will also display statistics.
Generating a Static chart will provide a simple line graph; while choosing Interactive will create a graph with additional features – users can zoom in on a specific time interval by holding the left mouse button and highlighting an area, view precise data for a specific value by hovering over a point on the chart, scroll the x –axes and y-axes.
The Isolated Graphing option will display each line in a multi-line graph separately from each other rather than having them overlap.
Note: Isolated graphing is only available with Multi-Line charts and can be used in conjunction with Static or Interactive charting.
