Argus Graph

The Argus system can measure and record large quantities of sensor and control data. Each Argus system is really three systems in one:

• A Real Time Automated Control System

• A Data Recorder

• A Compete Monitoring and Alarm System

The Argus Graph is a full-featured graphing utility. With it you can monitor and analyze all your recorded data and save your custom graph reports for easy future access.

Your system does its work in real time in an ever-changing environment. By recording, viewing, and analyzing data from your sensors as well as control data, you can better understand how your system is performing over time. Data Recording can be very useful to help you visualize the dynamic interactions of your control system. It's important for you to understand these dynamics when making changes to the settings. The easiest way to keep track of the complex interactions between equipment operations and climate variables is to record the important parameters and study their relationships.

The Argus Graph enables you to get the most from your recorded data. Featuring graphical and tabular views, not only can you visualize the effects of present readings and settings on your system, but you can see how these values are changing over time. You can track the cause and effect relationships between such environmental parameters as light, heat, and humidity, and the effects of the equipment control actions that your system is taking to achieve your targets.

Here are a some of the new features:

• You can now view any recorded data anytime, by simply starting the graph and selecting data recorded parameters directly from Factory and User Screens
• Jump to any date by using the Time Buttons and the Data Cursor. The Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly preset time scales have been retained
  You can zoom and pan the timescale directly
• You can make and save any number of custom Data Recording Reports
• Shortcuts to individual Reports can be placed anywhere on your system
• Up to 64 parameters can be viewed and saved in each Report. The display of individual parameters in graph reports can be toggled 'on' or 'off'
• There are numerous controls for manipulating graph data channels singly or in groups
• Manual scaling values can be saved with reports
• Auto fit to data and zoom to fit data display options
• Line and background colors can be configured and saved
• The graph window is resizable. When a graph is opened it can float independent from the main Argus window
• Graph values are updated automatically, based on the present zoom level
• Interactive Data Cursor displays value and time for selected parameters
• Optional Data Legend can be toggled on and off
• Off-scale data icons help you to find data channels that are not visible in the current Y-axis view
