Graph View tab
The following graphs are available:
Sensor Data
– Displays RawCount and Baseline. Click a corresponding check box to see them. Under Multi-frequency mode, RawCount and Baseline are available for three channels: 0, 1, 2.
Sensor DiffCount
– Displays signal differences.
Status
– Displays a sensor status (Touch/No Touch).
Position
– Displays touch positions for the Linear Slider, Radial Slider, and Touchpad widgets.
Note:
For 5th generation CAPSENSE™ configuration with enabled Multi-frequency mode, there is a Median graph on the Sensor Signal graph for each sensor. For Multi-frequency mode, three varieties are scanned for each sensor at three different frequencies and three different raw-counts are obtained for the same sensor. The sensor state is estimated by one median value calculated from the obtained three raw-counts. A Median graph shows a set of F0 values received from a kit. The graph becomes visible if at least one of the graphs F0, F1, F2 is visible. Then, the Tuner calculates the actual value of F0 from received data.
Graph View tab toolbar
Go to
Tabs toolbars
table to see the descriptions of the
Graph View
tab toolbar.
Chart settings
– Opens the menu for editing the chart line series parameters.
Crosshairs
– Consists of two lines parallel to the coordinate axes. The vertical component always shows the X coordinate of the mouse cursor and moves with the mouse pointer synchronously on all four charts:
Sensor Data
,
Sensor Signal
,
Status
, and
Position
regardless of their scale and shift. The horizontal component is visible only on the chart (active chart) over which the mouse cursor is hovering. The
Crosshairs
context menu has many more options:
Vertical marker lines
– When you left-click, the Tuner adds a Vertical marker line with a value equal to the X coordinate of the mouse cursor synchronously on all four charts – Sensor Data, Sensor Signal, Status, and Position regardless of their scale and shift. Press the [
Esc
] key to erase all previously drawn Vertical marker lines. You can change the characteristics of Vertical marker lines or disable them in the submenu
Chart settings > Vertical marker lines
.
Stopping bars
– When performing
Stop communication
, the Tuner adds a rectangular mark after the current endpoint synchronously on all four charts. After a new start of communication, new chart points will be added after the last Stopping bar. You can change the Stopping bars characteristics or disable them in the
Chart settings > Stopping bars
submenu.
Graph functionality
The Graph functionality includes:
Highlighting
– If you click a sensor line series on the graph, the corresponding sensor series highlights on the Legend pane. Likewise, if you click a sensor series on the Legend pane, it highlights a sensor line series on the graph. To highlight lines for all graphs at the same time, press and hold the [
Ctrl
] key. To select multiple sensors in the other View tabs, press and hold the [
Alt
] key.
Pan
and
– Allow you to examine graphs in more detail. Use a mouse drag for pan. Press and hold the [
Shift
] key to select the area you need to examine. Press and hold the [
Ctrl
] key to examine all the graphs simultaneously.
Use the mouse wheel for Zoom. The [
Ctrl
] key + mouse wheel zooms all graphs simultaneously. Press the [
Esc
] key to undo zoom and pan for all graphs.
Context menu – Provides the options to change the appearance of graphs. To display the menu, right-click one of the charts: Sensor Data, Sensor Signal, Status, Position, or the chart's legend. The context menu options are the same as for
Graph View tab toolbar
> Chart settings
: increase/decrease the line width and zoom.
The context menu for selected graphs also contains:
Color
– To change a sensor series color on the
Legend
pane, either double-click or right-click the sensor and select the
Color
option from the displayed menu. The "Please choose a color for …" dialog displays. You can change the color for the graph lines of the same sensor (widget) on all the charts of the
Graph View
and on the Touch Signal Graph of the
Widget View
simultaneously.
Select a color and click
OK
. To select a color for all the graphs at the same time, press and hold the [
Ctrl
] key while clicking.
