3.3.3.1 Selecting Data for Display
The data control bar can be used to display up to six parameters in the interface.
These can be selected from the list box menus. Control parameters of the myograph
(e.g. pressures) or derived parameters (e.g. lumen diameter) can be displayed. The
display has an internal memory of several hours where parameters are stored even
if they are not displayed. The memory can be used to review the parameter history at
any time but should not be confused with the logging of parameters to le, which is a
separate feature of VediView
™
.
3.3.3.2 Conguration of Data Display
The display of parameters in VediView
can
be congured in the “congure graph window”
selected from the pop-up menu in the data
control bar. In the congure graph window
shown in Fig. 3.15, it is possible to congure
the axis range of each displayed parameter,
the data rate and the time range. Once an
appropriate graphical display setup has been
entered, click the "OK" bottom to complete the
selection.
Since up to six parameters can be displayed at the time, the y-axis label must
be chosen to suit the congured parameters. This is achieved by selecting the
appropriate radio button adjacent to the parameter list box in the data control bar.
3.3.3.3 Control of Data Display
The graphical display of parameters has a specied data length (default 60 seconds)
but very often an experiment may last considerably longer. VediView
provides a
facility to scroll back through the display using the "slider" button on the control
bar. Having activated the scroll function, subsequent graphical display is paused. By
selecting the “resume” button , the display will reset to the current time (i.e. time
0). During data scrolling, real time data is still passed on to the internal memory for it
to be reviewed subsequently. Note that the internal memory is only used for the
graphical display. If the user wishes to log data for future reference or export to
spreadsheet, then the data logging facility must be activated. The displayed data
history may be reset at any time using the “clear data history” item on the pop-up
menu. Note that this command does not affect data that has been logged to disk.
3.3.3.4 Data Logging
Data les (*.ved) can be created from the data control bar, which contains a log of all
the controlled or derived parameters. The logged les contain all possible parameters
in a standard spreadsheet format where each column corresponds to a parameter.
If a given parameter is not calculated or used, it will still appear in the spreadsheet.
This feature protects the user from forgetting to log a parameter that may be required.
The log les are text based and may be read and displayed by VediView
or any
standard spreadsheet application (e.g. EXCEL).
