Data Presentation
You can present your data and calculated results as 2D diagrams, 3D diagrams, column tables, cell tables or embedded in text. The powerful diagram wizard offers you a variety of diagram styles from which you can choose divided among ten categories. Simply select the data in Explorer, call up the wizard, choose the diagram and you're done. The other steps in the wizard are optional. Here you can select from over ten types of scaling, for instance, or you can add additional axes and a legend to the diagram.
The flexible diagrams from FlexPro offer you almost unlimited design options. A 2D diagram, for instance, can have any number of X and Y axes and curves. For each curve you can combine presentation features such as lines, symbols, bars, fillings, labels and error indicators in any way you want. You can control a large number of parameters such as symbol size or a color palette via additional datasets and/or calculations. You can also modify axis scalings and display any text in any location.
A plotter display with stacked Y axes is available that is especially designed for displaying multi-channel measurements. For 3D diagrams, you can choose from waterfall, surface, column and space curve styles, which can be combined any way you want. Each type of curve offers a large number of presentation elements such as grids, symbols, color shades, color palettes and much more. You can achieve the optimum 3D effect by making illumination active.
Even for the presentation in table format, a wizard is at your side. FlexPro can display individual values, vectors and matrices in tables. Large datasets can be broken up over multiple columns and pages. You can design the tables using a large number of display attributes such as vertical text, merged cells, etc.
In your diagram and tables, you can also insert drawings and labels. A user-friendly editor is available for this. The editor provides you with a series of drawing elements such as lines, rectangles and ellipses, etc., which you can later group into larger objects. Any manipulation e.g., rotating, aligning, enlarging, etc. that you want to undertake is possible.
FlexPro can display numerical values in all objects formatted in a variety of ways. You can present values with or without an exponent or in engineering units. The number of valid positions and/or positions after the comma can be determined here. The date and time can be displayed in many and various ways to the exact millisecond. FlexPro controls the output of numbers using formatters, which you can easily set using a dialog box.
The text object is also suitable for displaying individual values, which you enter into the text using placeholders. You can format the text as you would in a word processor. Special types of display such as bullets and numbered lists are also possible.
You can easily transfer all objects into your word processor or paste them into a FlexPro document. This type of document includes a header and footer and can contain multiple pages. The drawing editor is also available here, and you can embed your company logo or other graphics as OLE objects. For instance, you can add the date or page numbers in your text using placeholders. You can automatically break up 2D diagrams and column tables with large datasets over multiple pages. To do this you simply set the X area per page in the diagram or the number of lines per page in the table. The number of pages will then dynamically be generated depending on the size of the dataset to be displayed.
