The menu bar functions are explained below.
File
New Window
Select this to open a new Performance Management window.
Select this to print the view graph displayed in the active Performance Graph window.
Save CSV
Select this to output view graph data displayed in the active Performance Graph window to a file in the CSV format.
Any name can be specified as the file name. The default name is graph00.csv. The file format consists of one header part and multiple data parts.
The header part explains the output graph. It consists of the following:
[@, graph title, graph type, year-month-day-time, device name, graph line explanation]
Items | Explanation |
|---|---|
graph title | Indicates the graph window title name. |
graph type | Indicates the time axis of the selected graph (one hour, one day, or one week). |
year-month-day-time | Indicates the start time of the graph. Year-month-day-time is displayed for a one-hour graph. Year-month-day is displayed for one-day graph. Year-month is displayed for one-week graphs. |
device name | Indicates a device ID. |
graph line explanation | Indicates the names of graph lines in sequence. They are displayed by clicking the <Graph Line> button in a graph. |
This part shows the following: Values of X-axis data containing graph points and corresponding Y-axis data values. This part consists of graph time and graph data.
Items | Explanation |
|---|---|
Graph time | Indicates the X-axis time data: Year-month-day-hour-minute-second data for a one-hour graph, year-month-day-hour-minute data for a one-day graph, and year-month-day-hour data for a one-week graph. |
Graph data | Each item of Y-axis data in graph time is displayed in order by graph line name. Each unit is the same as the performance graph axis unit. |
