Chart Setup Wizard
Reference Note: For very first time start-up of ChartView and a program tutorial (that includes a first
time use of the Chart Setup Wizard) refer to Chapter 2.
Introduction
Chart Setup Wizard is a feature of ChartView, ChartView Plus and PostView. The feature allows you
to set up your initial chart display configuration using an automated method, or manually create a new
display configuration. The following points are important in regard to the Chart Setup Wizard.
• You can edit the chart display by accessing the Display Configuration Setup dialog box from
the Chart pull-down menu; or by clicking of the Chart Setup button in the main window
toolbar. This method does not use the Chart Setup Wizard and does not reset your chart
display configuration setup.
• Activating the Chart Setup Wizard will reset your chart Display Configuration Setup. It
will not reset your Channel and Alarm configuration.
• Chart Setup Wizard, as described in this text, covers the expanded setup applications available
with ChartView Plus. The basic ChartView program does not permit overlapping channels or
having more than 1 chart group.
• Expanded applications (ChartView Plus) can be activated by use of a special code available
from the factory. Please consult your service representative for more detailed information.
Activating the Chart Setup Wizard from the Chart pull-down menu will result in the following dialog
box and warning.
The Chart Setup Wizard window appears when you attempt to run ChartView for the very first time, as
well as when a configuration file does not exist. When a configuration file already exists, you can
easily access the Chart Setup Wizard by selecting Wizard in the Chart pull-down menu. It is important
to realize running the Chart Setup Wizard will result in a reset of your display setup; it will not,
however, change your channel and alarm configuration ( with the exception of new display channels
now enabled).
The chart setup determines how your ChartView Main Window will appear in regard to the following:
• number of chart groups available for viewing
• number of charts shown for each selected group
• the number of overlapping channels in each chart (not to exceed 4)
You can choose to manually create a configuration, or have one created automatically. The automatic
setup method offers three choices: Simple, Moderate, and Advanced. Moderate and advanced are only
available with ChartView Plus.
Note: You can use Chart Setup Wizard to quickly set up a large number of charts. You can then
fine-tune the layout manually via the Manual Chart Creation feature.
