Looking for a manual for the Historical Data Viewer Lookout 6.1

[alan g.]

Is there a manual on the Historical Data Viewer (Measurement and Automation Explorer)?

I have never logged any analog data, but want to log (to historical data) the battery voltage at a remote site during a power outage.

I have the object established and have a display showing the real-time battery voltage. I have selected logging and have set the resolution and the deviation.

I am stuck where it comes to the historical data viewer. I believe that I need to set up a trace to view the data, but can not find a manual for the  Historical Data Viewer (Measurement and Automation Explorer) so that I can read up on it.

Does anyone have a link to a manual?

Thanks, Alan

Well, I managed to get the trace up and running.

Still have a couple of questions that the documentation may help with.

1) Manual scale of the Y axis. I would like to apply a manual scale on the Y-axis.

2) Install some reference lines. one at a Lo mark and one at a LO-LO mark so that i can tell at a glance what level it is at.

Thanks.

You have to configure the Scale parameter of Pot in Lookout. The Historical Data Viewer just reads data from database the show it. It can't scale it.

But I can't find a way to add a reference line to the view. Maybe this can be a new feature.

I was able to do a manual scale on the trace view in the Historical Data Viewer.

Last item that I have been unable to get figured out is if I can add refence lines on the trace view in the Historical Data Viewer.

I am still unable to find any manual for the Historical Data Viewer, except for the help files.

Thanks again for any help. Alan

The "Historical Data Viewer Help" says almost everything about this software. I don't think there is a manual for it.
