Plotting Data on a fixed time axis from left to right

I am plotting data on a Historical Trend graph from the DSC palette. I receive the data from a plc throughout the course of a production shift. I would like to have the start time of the shift (07:00) on the far left of the x-axis and the end time of the shift on the far right (15:30). I would like to plot the data from left to right as the shift progresses. Is this possible? How do I format?
Many thanks for any input,
Stuart Wilson

Hi Stuart,
All you need to do is place down a waveform chart and then modify the properties slightly in order to achieve this. If you right click and make sure autoscaling is turned off on the x-axis first of all, then go into the properties page and change the x-axis formatting to absolute time then you will be able to plot data with the actual time according to your system clock.
The only problem you have now is that there probably isn't enough room on the chart to plot data for the entire time between 09:00 and 15:30 depending on how often you want to sample. The default number of data points to keep in the chart is 1024. Therefore if you try and change the max and min values to 09:00 and 15:30 then it won't allow you to set that up as it doesn't think you have enough room there. Right click on the chart again and go down to Chart History Length. Increase this number to a large enough number and then you will be able to set the start time to 09:00 and the end time to 15:30 and as long as autoscaling is turned off this will not change.
Hope this helps, please find the attached example which will plot random numbers to a chart once a minute and the chart will plot data between these times.

  • Black screen from left to right then restart

    I have the latest ipad. After running for a few minutes the screen goes black from left to right. After about 30 secs the screen goes back to the apple logo and then the passcode. I updated to ios6, but it didn't help. I tried synching, but everytime it does the restart it looses its connection and can't be seen by itunes. Any ideas?

    Reset iPad and continue with Restore.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Camera Raw crops my image from left and right

    As you can see in the screen cap, camera raw inside AE opens my timelapse images cropped from left and right. I had this problem before in photoshop too, but never tried to fix it. I'm now in serious trouble and need to find a solution ASAP.

    I'm guessing that you cropped in camera and when you shoot RAW the crop is honored but can be removed. I would use Lightroom. Set up a preset that resets the crop and process all of the frames and then export a png or if you want to do some advanced color correcting in AE, select any of the 32 bit image formats and render your resized images to a specific folder. Then import the images as an image sequence in Premiere Pro or AE and do the rest of the work. Importing an image at a time into AE and sequencing the layers in nuts...IMHO
    One other thing, before you shoot any more images with this camera go through the menu and reset it to not crop your images.

    Having resent my iPad using the Settings route, the Apple logo appeared onscreen and a line below it filled from left to right. When full, the device did nothing.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • While using ibooks how to change page swipe from left to right vs top to bottom

    Somehow I changed a setting in my Ibooks to change page by scrolling from top to bottom of the screen. I want to have page turn by moving from left to right. I am using iPhone with operating 7. whatever is out at this day and time. Can anyone help? Thanks
    Celestesyorkies.

    tap the AA symbol at the top, the one for resizing text.
    It will show a slider for brightness, font size, page colour, and on the bottom "scrolling view" off and on.
    When the scrolling view is "on" (green) the book is read with a vertical slider and scrolling up and down.
    When the scrolling view is "off" (no colour) the pages are changed by swiping left to right or right to left.

  • Converting 11 digit value into 18 digit value by filling from left to right

    Hello Experts,
    I'm a newbie in ABAP-coding. I didn't found anything in the forum, so I'm sure somebody could give a little help. I would like to concatenate value into field name "mat". The input length is 11 the output length should be 18. Could you please look at the code belove:
    data: c1(7) value '10000002',
          c2(3) value '001',
          c3(1) value '0',
          mat type /BI0/OIMATERIAL.
    CONCATENATE c1 c2 c3 into mat.
    write mat.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
      EXPORTING
        INPUT     = mat
    IMPORTING
       OUTPUT     = mat.
    But is not giving me the correct result. I've defined a field "mat" which has the same proerty as 0MATERIAL and length = 18.
    After concatenating values into mat, the result should be 10000002001 (length = 11).
    But I would like the result to be showing from left to right in this way: 000000010000002001 (length = 18)
    Could somebody tell where the problem could be?
    Many Thanks
    Mamadou

    The probelm appears to be with
    mat type /BI0/OIMATERIAL.
    I changed it to
    MAT(18)
    and got
    000000010000000010

  • Fading an Object in From Left To Right

    I'm trying to simply have a "square" fade in from left to right. Kind of like a "wipe" transition. Using the Fade In/Out Behavior only allows the whole object to fade in from 0% to 100% opacity at the same time.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I might accomplish this extreme quest of wizardry?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    I'd like to add an alternative solution. Maxx's idea may give you more customization but my idea is a shade simpler: I'm not involving a true gradient, but feathering the mask instead.
    Draw a mask around your object. It may need to be quite a bit larger than the object in question. You'll know that, once you start playing with.
    Animate the mask's control points. I like to set the last keyframe first, where your object is completely visible. Then move the playhead to a prior point in time. Then set another mask keyframe. Now click on the upper right hand point of the mask, hold down shift, then select the bottom right hand point of the mask.
    With these points selected, If you then click and drag on the line between these 2 points, the whole right mask edge should move as one. Peel this line all of the way left until your object disappears. If you push play now, the object should sort of "wipe on" from left to right.
    One more thing: Mask feather. With the mask selected, the HUD should have mention of "Feather". You'll want to dial this up. But if your playhead is parked at the beginning of the animation or at the end, you're not likely to see anything. So move the playhead such that you're parked between your 2 keyframes, with the object about halfway exposed, then adjust the feather to your liking.
    Again, here is where you'll need to determine if the whole mask needs to be larger because you really only want the object to be effected by this "growing right edge". You don't want to see the feathering on the other edges, probably.
    Anyway, this is Just another way to skin a cat. Maybe this will help you out.

  • I need to know how to delete downloaded videos and movies from iTunes when the instructions on the support page does not work.  I have swiped the selections from left to right on the phone and nothing happens.

    Hello.
    I need help deleting videos, tv shows, and movies downloaded from itunes.  I have followed the instructions to delete from the macbook, I selected the videos I wanted to delete and right clicked to delete.  Nothing happens.  When I double click on the video it still starts playing.  I also followed the instructions to delete the videos from the iphone by swiping from left to right with nothing happening.  I opened the videos on the ipad and there is no edit selection like in the instructions on the support page. Can you please tell me how to permanently remove this content so it doesn't try to copy from each device when I want to back up the Iphone and Ipad to my macbook.  Thank you.

  • How to change the direction of movement in atable from left to right?

    As the title says i want to change the movement direction in the cells of a table in pages when i click tab key from "left to right" to "right to left", is that possible?

    It seams that we aren't using the same application.
    In mine, if the cell C3 is selected, pressing shift + tab select the cell B3 which is what you wanted in your original post (or I understood it wrongly).
    If what you want is the ability to insert a new row above the current one or at top of a table, you can't do that this way.
    Same response if you want to insert a new column to the left of the table.
    To do that, the soluce is to select the top row or the leftmost column.
    There is a funny bug in the menu items.
    If your table has a header row, entering the menu Format > Table, we get four items:
    Insert new header above
    Insert new header below
    if we are in the header row
    or
    Insert new row above
    Insert new row below
    Insert a column before
    Insert a column after
    These four menus items have shortcuts :
    option up arrow
    option down arrow
    option left arrow
    option right arrow
    If the table has no header, the menu items are :
    Insert new row above
    Insert new row below
    Insert a column before
    Insert a column after
    None of them display a shortcut *_but the shortcuts are active_*

  • My screen displays a shadow from left to right, being darker on the left and brighter on the right. Any advice about how to change this would be appreciated.

    My screen from the moment it starts any program appears to be shaded from left to right. The left hand side of the display appears to be darker than the right half of the screen. Can someone please advise what I can do to alter this. Have I pressed something I shouldn,t have? Or is there a problem with my display?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Does not sound too healthy! You should take it to the Genius bar in the Apple store. May need the hardware looked at...
    It's most probably a backlight issue. Take some piccys of it while it isnt working now!!

  • Why does my Menu Bar is scrolling from left to right when I call it and not stabilizing?

    I have an an XP Windows system and I use Firefox as my default Browser, I suddenly found that my browaer is hit by something that makes the Menu Bar when I try to use it scrolling all menus from left to right so quickly that I can't point to any choice and keep doing this till I end it by mouse, also the information in the Autocomplete are not accessible as they don't show when trying to get them either by mouse or by the down key. I don.t know what to do putting in consideration that I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and this did not solve the problem.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Adobe Reader move the vertical scroll bar from left to right

    Hi,
    is it possible to move the vertical scroll bar from left to right in Adobe Reader 9?
    If not, are you planning to implement this functionality?

    I meant from right to left, sorry
    You see, I'm left handed and when I use the scroll bar that is on the right side with the left hand I don't actually see the content of the page, because my left hand is covering the screen (I'm browsing the internet in tablet mode and I use the pen to navigate between pages).
    My system is a Tablet PC with Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2.
    P.S. can you edit my post so the google indexes it right? (
    from right to left
    instead of "from left to right")
