Basic Graph Functionalities

Module Overview

In this module, you will explore the essential functionalities available in Proqio's Graph View, helping you better visualize and interpret your instrument data. Key topics include:

1. Types of Graphs Available
   Understand the different graph types—such as line, bar, and scatter plots—and learn when to use each for effective data analysis.

2. Modify your graph
   Learn how to customize graph elements including parameters, colors, and styles, as well as how to add or remove instruments for comparison.

3. Changing Axis Settings
   Discover how to adjust both X and Y axis, define ranges, adjust axis scale, and zoom into specific timeframes for greater control over your data view.

4. View Min/Max and Average values
   Set consistent min/max values for selected parameters across all graphs to ensure uniform scaling and accurate visual comparisons.

 Types of Graphs

Proqio offers multiple graph types to help you visualize and analyse your instrument data effectively. Each graph type serves a specific purpose depending on the nature of your data and the insights you’re seeking.

1. Line Graph

Line graphs are ideal for displaying continuous data trends over time. They are commonly used for monitoring parameters like temperature, pressure, etc. to identify gradual changes or patterns.

2. Column Graph

Column graphs are useful for comparing discrete values across categories or time intervals. They are often used to summarize daily outputs or compare average readings over set periods.

3. Scatter Graph 

Scatter graph help identify relationships or irregularities between two variables. They are effective for spotting correlations (e.g., between pressure and temperature) or detecting outliers in sensor data.

Modifying Graphs

Proqio provides a range of tools to help you tailor graphs for clearer and more meaningful data visualization. You can customize how data appears based on your analysis needs using the following features:

1. Select or Deselect Parameters
   Choose the specific parameters you want to display or hide to focus on relevant data points.

2. Customize Visual Styles
   Use advanced options like Split Fields, apply calculations such as Min/Max/Average, and add visual enhancements like lines, textures, or trend markers.

3. Zoom and Pan
   Zoom into specific timeframes and pan across the graph to analyze detailed segments of your data.

4. Change Colors
   Proqio provides the option to customize graph colors directly within the Dashboard section, allowing for clearer visual distinction between parameters and instruments.

   
   

5. Modify Date/Time Range
   Use the Date/Time widget to focus the graph on specific periods relevant to your analysis.
