13.9. Channels
13.9.1. Introduction to Channels
Channels are graphical representations
in a chart of measured data. Each
channel consists of a collection of series
with slightly different characteristics, for
example a Min, an Avg, and a Max
series.
A channel may consist of one or several
series of the following types:
Min Minimum value during a
period of time.
Avg Average value during a period
of time.
Max Maximum value during a
period of time.
Terms
Value A generic “value”. For a
Trend, this series normally
consists of Half-Cycle values.
For a Waveform channel,
these series consists of normal
(LF) waveform samples.
Example 1. This channel contains Min, Avg and
Max series plus two threshold series (dashed)
Example 2. This channel contains Min, Avg and
Max series and a Value series (Half-Cycle
RMS).
Example 3. This channel contains a Value series
(LF-sampling) and a HF series.
HF For a waveform channel, this series may contain High Frequency
samples.
HiHiLim
A trigger threshold - very high limit value
HiLim A trigger threshold - high limit value
LoLim A trigger threshold - low limit value
LoLoLim
A trigger threshold - very low limit value
There are three main types of channels in Dran-View, measured channels which
originate from the instrument, calculated channels which are generated by the
Harmonics/Timeplot Calculator (Enterprise Edition only), DFT calculations or
other means within Dran-View, and math channels (Enterprise Edition only) which
are user-defined channels derived from a mathematical formula.
When plotting a channel, the individual series can be enabled/disabled.
