Live Plots
The Plots view displays scrolling time-history plots of selected channels. Data is buffered locally by the Data Logger and plotted in real time.
Plot Structure
Plots are organised in three levels:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Groups | Top-level tabs (up to 7 groups) |
| Pages | Sub-tabs within each group (up to 8 pages) |
| Plots | Up to 4 time plots stacked vertically on each page |
Configuring Plots
Click the pencil icon on the plots view to open Live Data Setup.
Groups
- Add Group — create a new group (creates a default page with 3 time plots)
- Import Group — load a
.logginggroupfile - Drag groups to reorder
- Save Group / Delete Group
Pages
Within a selected group:
- Add Page — create a new page tab
- Import Page — load a
.loggingpagefile - Set Plot Count (0–4 plots per page)
- Save Page / Delete Page
Time Plot Configuration
Each plot cell supports up to 8 channels. Configure channels directly on the plot:
- Click the plot to open channel selection
- Assign channels to plot traces
- Set Y-axis minimum and maximum, or enable auto-scale per channel
- Use quick add mode to rapidly add channels from the live data list
Plots scroll automatically as new data arrives. When logging is paused, use the toolbar controls to scroll back through buffered history.
Split Layouts
When using Plot + Plot or Plot + Grid view types, each side has independent group and page tabs. The secondary plot area uses a separate tab index, so you can show different channel sets side by side.
