Viewing the Results using RView
For more detailed information on RView see the help file.
When RView is started an empty window is shown. One or more data files can be
opened by selecting File\Open on the menu or pressing the appropriate button on the
toolbar.
When a data file is opened the information is displayed as a graph in it’s own window.
More than one graph can be open at any time.
The graph can then be manipulated in the following ways:
Change the graphed parameters. If ‘Show’ is selected on the menu a list of
parameters that can be plotted is shown with the current selection ticked. The various
items can be ticked/unticked to change what is shown.
Make the graph bigger/smaller. Use the standard window controls on the top right
of the graph window and/or drag the edges of the graph as required.
Zoom to see part of the data in more detail. Move the mouse cursor to one corner
of the area of interest, click and hold the left mouse button while moving the mouse
cursor so that the area of interest has a box drawn round it. When the mouse button is
released the graph is redrawn showing only the selected area.
Change the temperature units. Select ‘Show’ on the menu and the current units are
shown (°C or °F) click on this to change the units.
Move the Legend. When the graph is first drawn the legend box may hide part of the
data. This can be moved by clicking on the box and dragging it to a new location. If it
changes to a free floating window it can be removed completely or put back on the
graph by clicking on it again.
Check the time/value of a point on the graph. Move the mouse cursor to the point
of interest, the time and value represented by the position is shown on a status bar at
the bottom of the window.
Add/Change the title of the graph. Press the Titles button on the toolbar and enter
the title as required.
Print the graph. Select File/Print on the menu.
Copy the Graph to the Clipboard. Select edit/copy on the menu or press the
appropriate button on the toolbar. The saved image can now be pasted into other
programs, documents etc.
