Edit Custom Curves

Most types of inputs that are used in SSi controllers are already setup with a curve built for most every type of thermocouple available, certain vacuum sensors, etc.  However, if an application calls for an input without a standard curve, the curve can be built using this option.  Voltages can be paired with corresponding values to create a sensor curve based off of a provided equation or data.  This allows the controller to make appropriate readings from the sensor.

Edit Trend Lines

The Edit Trend Lines feature allows you to edit the formatting and ranges of data for charts produced by TS Manager. This feature allows you to adjust the appearance and names of trend lines on the chart as well as the numerical ranges for each trend line displayed in the chart.

 

To access this feature, first toggle the Edit Chart button on. The Edit Trend Lines screen will appear. You can then edit the fields shown below.

  • Format. The number of decimal places shown in the numerical values for that particular trend line.

  • Units. The units shown for that particular trend line (degrees F, percentage, etc.).

  • Expression. A mathematical operation performed on each value displayed on the trend line. x is the original value; the mathematical operation shown indicates the operation performed on x before the newly calculated value is included on the trend line.

  • colTestValue. A test value entered to test the mathematical operation shown in the Expression field.

  • Total. The value resulting from performing the mathematical operation shown in the Expression field on the value shown in colTestValue.
