Edit Custom Curves

The Edit Custom Curves button on the toolbar, , will allow the user the option to edit a curve that is located on the computer.

The curves in the “Curves:” section are the curves that have been downloaded from the screen or created on the computer.  To edit a curve, select the curve from the list and then click on the Edit button.  To add a curve, click on the Add button.  When the Edit or Add button has been clicked, the rest of the screen will become visible.  The user can now begin entering information about the curve.  The “Output” column represents the X-Axis on the graph, and the “Input” column represents the Y-Axis on the graph.  The output is the value that will be output if a certain input is received.  For example, using the graph above, if an input value of 8000.000 is received, the corresponding output would be 15.000.  Values between the points will be curved to accommodate.  For example, again using the graph above, if an input value of 8400.000 is received, then the corresponding output would be 11.35.  As points are entered in the “Output/Input” area, the graph on the right will add those points to it and the graph with the curve will begin to take shape.  The “Test Value” field at the right will allow the user to test out the curve with sample input values.  Clicking on the button with the equals sign, , will display the output value to the right of the button.  The “Name” field will set the name of the curve.  The “Source Decimal” field will set the number of decimals for the source, with a range of 0 to 4.  The “Precision” field will set the precision, with a range of 1 to 1000.  The “Mode” field will set the mode of the curve, and it can be either Linear or Polynomial.  The output units will describe what kind of units the output will be in.  The “Logarithmic Chart X-Axis” box will convert the graph into a logarithmic function, as seen below.

Click the Save button to save the changes or add the curve.  Click the Cancel button to cancel any changes.

Clicking on the Delete button will delete the curve.  The user will have to confirm the delete.

Clicking on the Done button will close the screen.

The Show Notes toolbar button, , will show any notes on the screen.  A note is signified by the note icon, , on the graph.  Clicking on the note icon on the graph will expand the note and display the note’s contents.

The top date/time is the date/time the note was made for, and the bottom date/time is when the note was created.
