ChartView, Basic Concepts

An understanding of the following basic concepts will help you master ChartView more quickly, and should be understood before proceeding with the tutorial.

Configuration Files

ChartView makes use of one or more “user transparent” configuration files. Configuration files maintain information regarding various aspects of your setup, serving as an initialization file for subsequent ChartView startups. These files can be recognized by their .cvw extensions.

When you run ChartView for the very first time there will be no configuration file. However, a configuration file will be generated and be saved, automatically, after each use of the program.

ChartView uses Chartvw.cvw as a default configuration file. This file maintains a location for ChartView configuration information including:

•Device Interface Mode

•Hardware Configuration

•Channel Settings:

⇒Channel Enable/Disable (On/Off)

⇒Type

⇒Label

⇒Units

⇒Alarm Settings (Limits)

⇒Hysteresis Setting

•Acquisition Configuration

•Data Storage Settings

The configuration file ensures that when you restart ChartView, it will be in the same state upon your last exit. This means that the Chartvw.cvw file will be an updated copy of the configuration file you are using at the time you exit ChartView.

It is not catastrophic if a configuration file is deleted, since it is a simple task to start ChartView when no configuration file exists. This is described in the tutorial.

Understanding Groups, Charts, & Channels

When starting the program with no configuration file present, a feature called Chart Setup Wizard is automatically activated to assist you with your setup. To make the best use of Chart Setup Wizard you need to understand the relationship of Groups, Charts, and Channels.

Note: ChartView, ChartView Plus, and Chart Setup Wizard are detailed in Chapter 4 of this manual.

Group. “Group” refers to a group of charts. ChartView makes use of one chart group. ChartView Plus allows up to 64 groups, depending on the capabilities of your PC, but only displays data from one chart group at a time.

Chart. “Chart” refers to display area which reflects real-time channel data values and can be scrolled at various rates. One chart can display data from up to four channels. In addition, each chart will display real-time information for a selected channel. You can assign up to 16 charts per group.

Channel. “Channel” refers to a signal channel. You can have up to 4 channels assigned to one chart. Channels will be displayed in units of °C, °F, °K, °R, mV, V, or in user-defined units, depending on the configuration and type of signal conditioning card used. ChartScan’s signal conditioning card options are detailed in Chapter 3.
