Chart

Show/hide chart general features:

•Legend: show/hide the chart series legend

•Records: show/hide individual records (components & triplets)

•X Log: switch the X-axis scale between Linear and Logarithmic

•Y Log: switch the Y-axis scale between Linear and Logarithmic

•X Grid: show/hide grids on the X coordinates (parallel to Y-axis)

•Y Grid: show/hide grids on the Y coordinates (parallel to X-axis)

•Norm X-Axis: switch the X-axis normalization on/off (normalizes X-axis such that maximum value is 1.0)

•Norm Y-Axis: switch the Y-axis normalization on/off (normalizes Y-axis such that maximum value is 1.0)

•Freeze X-Axis: freeze X-axis scale to its current range (min,max)

•Freeze X-Axis: freeze Y-axis scale to its current range (min,max)

Polar

•2D Trace: Show the 2D Bidirectional trace of Displacement, Velocity or Acceleration response at a given period, T1, and damping 

•Max Angle: show/hide the Maximum-Response Directions.

•Min Angle: show/hide the Minimum-Response Directions.

•H1 Dir: Plot the axis of component 1.

•H2 Dir: Plot the axis of component 2.

•True Azimuth: Plot the record based on its unique azimuth.

•T1 (s): Plot the polar on a specific duration. The user can select the duration from the drop-down list or can type the a specific duration.

•Damping: Select the desirable damping ratio. The user can select the damping ratio from the drop-down list or can type the a specific damping ratio.

•Polar Envelope: Show the Polar Bidirectional Envelope of the trace.

•Show Rot100, Rot50 and Rot0, SRSS, Geomean, and Max(H1,H2) Envelopes

Polar (Expert)

•Symmetric: Response along angles alpha and alpha+180 degrees is taken as the maximum of the two values.

•Type: Response Type: Acceleration, Velocity or Displacement

•T2/T1: Ratio used to define the period of vibration in Direction. The default value for T2/T1 is 1.

Modification

For modified records, show/hide the following:

•Original: display the original record (before modification)

•Modified: display the modified record (after modification)

•Line Wt (Mod): display the modified chart with a heavier line thickness

Copy Data

•Copy Metadata: copies the record view record data, including header and footers of the data, which makes it easy to create record tables in MS Excel or Word.

•Copy Chart Data: copies the chart series data which can be exported to create tables in MS Excel or Word.

•Copy Chart Image: take a screenshot of the selected chart
