SHOW LOAD CURVE
This function enables the user to display the selected curve(s). Also, the user can organize the display by using the options in the dialog window CURVES, see Figure 9.11.10.
Select the load curve in the SELECT CURVE dialog window. See Figure 10.11.3.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
1. LOCATION
Toggle FULL SCREEN on to display the curve(s) in the entire graphics.
Toggle USER DEFINED LOCATION on and drag a window to display the curve(s) in the drag window.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
2. CLEAR
This function removes an object from the screen.
Select the button to the right of CLEAR to select an object:
CURVE SCREEN
Clears all objects in the curve screen.
MODEL
Clears the displayed model.
ETA LABEL
Clears the label at the left bottom of the display screen.
ALL
Clears all objects in display screen.
Select CLEAR and the objects are cleared.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
3. QUERY
This function displays information about a graph in the curve screen.
Select the button to the right of QUERY and select one of the three items.
POINT
Select a point on a curve, its X, Y coordinates will be given in the prompt window.
CURVE
A list of defined curves appears. The user can select one from the list or pick from the screen. The name of the curve, number of points on the curve, the X range, and the Y range will be given in the prompt window.
GRAPH
The name of the graph and the number of curves in the graph will be given in the prompt window.
After selecting one of the above options, select QUERY.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
4. OPTION FOR GRAPH DISPLAY
This allows the user to manipulate the display settings of axis, graph, curve, grid and legend. See Figures 9.11.11 ~ 9.11.15.
Select the button to the right of OPTION FOR to select between AXIS, CURVE, GRAPH, GRID and LEGEND. Each option displays its own dialog window.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
5. DEFINE RANGE OF GRAPH
This function zooms in on a specific section of graph.
Toggle FULL RANGE on to show a curve in full range (default).
Toggle USER DEFINED on to adjust the values of four sliders and then select APPLY to reset the range.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
6. OPERATION
This function allows the user to apply mathematical operations to the shown curve. The options are shown in Figure 9.11.16.
After an operation is selected, the SELECT CURVE dialog window will appear for selecting curves for the operation, see Figure 9.11.17. The user can select a curve by choosing from those displayed in the curve window, selecting from the name list or selecting the ALL CURVES button. eta/DYNAFORM prompts:
LEFT BUTTON SELECT, MIDDLE BUTTON DESELECT
-- This
function creates a new curve in the curve screen whose values of Y are the sums
of the selected curves. At least two curves must be selected.
-- This
function creates a new curve whose values are the differences of two selected
curves.
-- This
function creates a new curve whose values are the product of two curves.
-- This
function creates a new curve whose values are quotients of two selected curves.
-- This
function creates a new curve that is the derivative of the selected curve with
respect to time.
-- This
function creates a new curve that is the indefinite integral of the selected
curve with respect to time.
-- This
function scales the selected curve using magnification factors in the X, Y
directions.
-- This
function moves the selected curve in the X, Y directions.
--
-- This
function negates the values of the selected curve in the Y direction.
-- This
function switches X-axis and Y-axis.
-- This
function creates a new curve that is the resultant of the selected curve.
Note: All results under the above operations are temporarily displayed in the curve screen. They will not be automatically saved as loaded curves. To keep the curve data, the user must perform either steps 8 or 9.
7. ERASE
Removes a selected curve from a displayed graph.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
8. KEEP IN DATABASE
This function saves the selected curve in the database with a name beginning with CUR.
-SHOW LOAD CURVE
9. SAVE TO FILE
This function saves the display as a text file in a directory, see Figure 9.11.18.
