scale report

[kaan]

Hi,

In the attachment you will see a typical report format that we have, in which we devide the x-axis into 3-4 different parts.

where for example:

1st part of x axis: The time difference between two ticks represent 20 ms (this is the part we have no important information on the signal)

2nd part of x axis : The time difference between two ticks represent 5 ms ( the distance between two ticks on the graph is always the same) this is the part where we have a closer look(zoomed so to say) on the signal, since the things we investigate happens in this part...

3rd part: It again represents 20 ms.

etc.

For the Y axis:

There is a certain length for 1unit. For different curves 1 unit may represent certain amount of mm, kV, kA , etc.

Finally my question is: Is it possible to generate such reports with DIAdem?

thanks in advance

Hi!

It is possible to create such a report in DIAdem.

You have to create your own X Channel with the X values with increment 0,02 or 0,005.
This channel will be used to plot your Y Values.

On the Y side you have to "Norm" all your Y values to your 1 Unit length.
You must make your own calculation to create your Y Values which will be plotted in the Report.

Here an image of a report I created. The X Channel has 2 blocks where the data is plotted every 5ms

Hi Ken,

thanks for the answer.

I actually wanted to know if it was possible using the features of the Report panel of DIAdem without modifying any data.

Your solution is ok, but it requires :

1-splitting the waveform channel into X and Y channels

2-Modifying the X channel (thus creating a imaginary one) without changing its length (if the length changes either X or Y channel will be shorter than the other, which will result in wrong representation of the curve)

    In the area where you want to have a better visualization, one has to increase the distance between two sequential x points by a factor . For example (x2_new - x1_new) = 4*(x2_original - x1_original). This will change the time range in the x channel.

3- Loading the original Y channel with the imaginary x channel in the report.

4- In report ; deleting the numbers in the x axis (because they are wrong values)

5- mark the time value between two ticks(1unit) in different parts of the graph.

And after all this is more Analysis then reporting !

I hope there is an other way to solve this problem

Hello Kaan!

The short answer is: No

As far as I know is there no build in way. You need a multiple X axis scaling, but there is only a single scaling in DIAdem.
Every solution aproach will result in a calculation process or an uncomforable layout design.

I see two aproaches:

• Ken's aproach (calculations required)
• Multiple coordinate system side by side with manual X-Scaling (verry bad to handle)

Sorry that I can't give you hope for a simple and good solution.
