Accesses the Setup Window for configuring channels and alarms.  From the

channels & alarms dialog box, you can select the Acquisition Setup and Data
Destination dialog boxes.

Accesses the Acquisition Setup dialog box.  From the Acquisition Setup box,

you can select the Channels & Alarms dialog box, as well as the Data
Destination dialog box.

Accesses the Setup Window for assigning the Data Destination and provides a

means of configuring the Auto Re-arm feature for ChartView Plus (see page
4-42).  From the Data Destination dialog box you can directly access the
Acquisition Setup and the Channels & Alarms dialog boxes.

This section pertains to channel data display screens (windows, or dialog boxes) other than the main
chart screen (ChartView’s main window).

After a brief discussion and illustration of each meter type, commonalties to these three types of meters
is presented.  These common areas include: Toolbars, Pull-Down Menus, and two special Pop-Up
Menus, one for configuring the meters, and the other for replacing a represented channel with another.

The acquisition-to-disk has a higher priority then the updating of Charts, Meters, and the Reading
column.  Therefore, data is displayed as soon as the acquisition task is satisfied.  As the scan rate is
increased, the acquisition-to-disk task will take up more processor (CPU) time and the displaying of
data will be updated as time allows.  If you select linear conversion (

) as the units for channel

configuration you should expect a further impact on real time display performance.  The 

conversion is discussed in the section, Channel and Alarm Setup Dialog Box.

The meter channels selected are independent of the group chart assignments.
