DataVU 7 - Presentation of DataDisplaying Recorded Data

DataVU 7 provides the ability to view recorded data in multiple ways such as graphical and numerical representations via a high clarity TFT display.

Presentation of data can be customised to a specific application by grouping related measurements on a single page, the recorder also supports creating a personalised process image, helping to visualise the information being displayed.

Three batch reports can be created simultaneously in the recorder. The batch data can be displayed on the recorder and within the Evaluation Software. A barcode reader can be used to start batches and read batch texts which is effective in eliminating input errors.

The PC evaluation software allows drilldown of data to meet a user’s requirements with the option to run reports with custom time and date ranges. Individual comments relating to process events entered on the recorder can also be viewed via the software, giving greater meaning and relevance to the data being presented.

Furthermore there is the capability to monitor and interrogate data with the Ethernet web server connection for the DataVU 7. Using this, the simultaneous display of all analog and digital I/O can be viewed on a single webpage. Users also have the option to view up to four visualisations for one or more recorders concurrently online providing a comprehensive overview of all data being recorded.
