WinPlot
How do I select the appropriate time slice?
The default parameter for the x-axis is time
The time slice can be set with the TimeSlice pull-down
menu or by using a button on the toolbar
The start time and stop time for the plot may be:
A numerical value
Relative to an event in the file (Start, Shutdown, End of File)
A combination of an event and a numerical value
(START + 5)
The start and stop time may also be relative to a
reference time
NONE for start / stop time relative to the data
acquisition/recording system
Start, Shutdown, PSN1, etc. for start / stop time relative to
specific test events
Time can also be shifted by the
user

How can I reduce my data rate?
There are two ways to reduce data rate:
The display data rate can be changed with the Style
pull-down menu
This function is used only to increase plotting
speed, it does not affect the download of data
Every point, averaged, or sampled data may be
selected
The number of points per trace to be displayed is
specified
Exports and tabulations will still be at full sample
rate
The downloaded data rate can be changed with the
average function
This function changes the amount of data
downloaded
The format of the average function is
avg(parameter [rate slice timestamp])
The average function creates average, running
average, or sampled data
Displays, exports, and tabulations will be at the
reduced rate
10
WinPlot
How does the average function work?
Average all data to produce one sample per second data
The parameter format is avg(PR0001 1)
Data from 1.000 to 1.999 is averaged and stamped at 1.000
Data from 2.000 to 2.999 is averaged and stamped at 2.000
Average some data to produce one sample per second data
The parameter format is avg(PR0001 1 .001)
Data from 1.000 to 1.001 is averaged and stamped at 1.000
Data from 2.000 to 2.001 is averaged and stamped at 2.000
Average data to produce a 1 second running average every .04 secs
The parameter format is - avg(PR0001 .04 1)
Data from 1.000 to 1.999 is averaged and stamped at 1.000
Data from 1.040 to 2.039 is averaged and stamped at 1.040
A time stamp may be used
Beginning of slice marked with b - avg(PR0001 1 b)
End of slice marked with e - avg(PR0001 e)
Average of slice marked with a - avg(PR0001 1 .04 a)

How do I plot a multi-test overlay or a series of tests end-to-end?
Parameters may be plotted for multiple
tests
Must load all data files and open as a
group or open a database
Can plot the data end-to-end or as a multi-
test overlay
Time slice can be global or per database
Time slices set per database allow curves
to be shifted to align specific events
Useful for lining up power level changes in
two tests if they happen at different times
To set a time slice per database:
Choose per database from the TimeSlice
pull-down menu
Input time slice for file1 (5 to 200 sec)
Input time slice for file2 (5 sec to Cutoff)

How can I find out details about my file or parameter?
20
WinPlot
How do I quickly screen a large number of files?
A filter is used to search files for specific data
Filters can search multiple tests to quickly
create a database
Filter criteria are set by parameter selection, by
the filter helper on the Parameter pull-down
menu, or by using a button on the toolbar
Criteria for multiple parameters may be included
WinPlot searches all loaded data files and returns
that portion of the data that meets the criteria
The data can be filtered to plot acceleration for
tests where flow > 16,000 gpm & speed > 34k rpm
Format of the parameter is (([avg(FL1)] >= 16000)
&&([avg(SP1)] >=34000)) = [avg([AC1])]
The left mouse button can be used to find the max,
min and average acceleration for the database
Vibration levels for high speed, high flow test conditions

How can I quickly query to find specific test data?
WinPlot has a query tool to quickly
find specific data
Can find any or all instances of the
specified criteria
Can set criteria for a specific
parameter or a calculation
Can select the time period to search
and the data source for the search
For example, the user can search
for any instance when the
difference between two parameters
is greater than a specified value
Query results show all tests that
met the criteria
Can connect to WinPlot and load
results (load all tests that met the
condition) or plot the condition

What are scripts?
A script is a way to generate a
set of routine plots
automatically
Once a script is created, it can
be run after each test to create
a standard data package
There are two ways to create a WinPlot script
A script file can be created in a word processor
File contains all the plotting steps the user wants to automate
Script files include the data files to open, time slice, parameters,
axis labels, etc. for each desired plot
Can also include pausing after plotting, printing the plot, etc.
Script recording is turned on in the file menu at the
beginning of a WinPlot session
All desired plots are created, WinPlot stores them in a user
supplied file
Script recording pull-down menu functions include pause,
resume or abort
An existing script is executed either with the File pull-down
menu or with the script button on the toolbar
