6.3 Chart Control Description
This section describes the charting controls that can be used on iPendant.
6.3.1 Bar Chart Control
Explanation
A Bar Chart control presents data in the familiar format of 2-dimensional bars.
Each bar represents a separate channel with specific characteristics to uniquely identify it.
A legend is supplied to identify the channel by name and optionally show the current value.
The current limitation supports monitoring up to 6 channels simultaneously.
Each bar (channel) is scaled evenly across the sample axis.
DataScaleMarkers can be placed on the chart sample scale. These are independent, 4 for each channel.
Data types that can be monitored are specified by the channel source as native controller data type. These are monitored at set intervals and converted internally from their native data type to floating point.
Property
Property can be divided into the groups shown below.
This first group should be considered static and not changed once the control is created:
id Specifies an ID string.
height Specifies the height in pixels or %.
width Specifies the width in pixels or %.
CtlType Specifies chart control.
FastLoad used internally by property editor.
ChartType Specifies the chart type, Bar or Line FontSize Specifies the default font size.

DataGrid Specifies data scale grid increments.
DataShowValues Specifies that data value be displayed in the legend.
DataFormat Specifies the ‘C’ format for the display of the data values.

ChanMonRate Specifies the default rate for channel monitors in milliseconds.
PipeMonRate Specifies the pipe file monitor rate in milliseconds.
CmdMonRate Specifies the CmdStr variable monitor rate in milliseconds. (Currently set the same as PipMonRate).
Verbose Specifies some verbose text if = 1.
ch_Data_N Specifies a comma separated data stream, N repeating channels per sample.
The following can occur 1 per channel N:
chN_Name Specifies the text label for the channel legend.
chN_Color Specifies color of the channel.
chN_Source Specifies the source to start a monitor on the controller.
chN_Rate Specifies the monitor rate in milliseconds.
chN_State Specifies if the channel is active, on or not.
chN_Spread not implemented.
chN_Data Specifies a comma separated data stream for the channel.
chN_AutoRange Specifies that the channel should auto range.
chN_DataMarkerN Specifies one of 4 markers along the data scale.

MAROBCG8304141E REV. A 6.3.2 Line Chart Control
Explanation
A Line Chart control presents data in the familiar format that is similar to an oscilloscope trace.
A chart can have independent graphs of each channel in a ‘stacked’
fashion, or can have all channels overlaid on one graph. When the channels are overlaid one channel can be selected to have its DataScale displayed, in this case the data scale is displayed in the color of the active channel. Otherwise, the DataScale is displayed in the Chart control’s default ForeColor.
When displayed in stacked mode, the channels are evenly sized and distributed over the display area of the control.
A legend is supplied to identify the channel by name and optionally show the current value.
The current limitation supports monitoring up to 6 channels simultaneously.
All channels share a common sample axis.
DataScaleMarkers can be placed on the chart sample scale. These are independent, 4 for each channel.
Up to 4 Sample Scale markers can be places on the Chart. These are common to all channels.
Data types that can be monitored are specified by the channel source as native controller data type. These are monitored at set intervals and converted internally from their native data type to floating point.
Property
Property can be divided into the groups shown below.
This first group should be considered static and not changed once the control is created:
