Dashboard
The dashboard displays live or post-processing data on a series of gauges. You can also start, stop and reset tests from here when the software is in Online mode.
There are 5 main types of gauges:
- Default – A standard alphanumeric representation of the data.
- Chart – A line graph representation of the data (for use with Online mode only).
- Target – A cursor indicates the data value on a user-specified number line.
- Angular Meter – A ‘needle’ type gauge that displays the data value on a circular gauge.
- Level – The data is displayed as a % fill of a bar.
Arranging Gauges
You can add gauges to the dashboard with the Add Gauge button on the Dashboard tab in the ribbon.
You can move the gauges by clicking and dragging at the centre of a gauge if you are using a mouse, or just by tapping and dragging from the centre if you are using a touchscreen device.
You can resize the gauges by clicking and dragging from the corner of a gauge when using a mouse, or by tapping on and dragging from a corner when using a touchscreen device.
Alerts
Default gauges
If you have set an alert on a gauge and the alert condition is met, the text colour will change from the assigned Text colour to the assigned Alert colour, and an audible tone will sound. If you have selected Flash on Alert, the text will also flash.
Chart, Target, Angular Meter and Level gauges
When you have set an alert on a gauge and the alert condition is met, the border and channel name will flash red, and an audible tone will sound.
