Display an X-Y Plot in Run Mode

X-Y Plots, like Mimics and Trends, have two modes:

• Design mode—Used by engineers to configure the X-Y Plot.
• Run mode—Used by operators to view the data provided on the X-Y Plot.

In this section, we are going to explain how to access an X-Y Plot in Run mode. When you have displayed an X-Y Plot in Run mode, you can use it to examine the relationship between the values provided by the two data sources.

To display an X-Y Plot in Run mode:

1. Log on to ViewX via a User account that has the Operate feature enabled (on the User Form) and has the Read and Browse permissions for the X-Y Plot item (or its parent Group).
2. Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).
3. In the Database Bar, locate the X-Y Plot item and then right-click on it.
   A context sensitive menu is displayed.
4. Select the Display X-Y Plotoption.
   The X-Y Plot is displayed in Run mode.
   

Alternatively, you can display the X-Y Plot in Run mode by performing one of the following:

• Double-click on the X-Y Plot in the Database Bar (if your User Account does not have the Double Click Edits Documents feature enabled).

Or:

• Display the X-Y Plot on, or from, a suitably configured Mimic.

Or:

1. Right-click on the X-Y Plot in a Queries List.
2. Select the Display option.

Or:

1. Display the X-Y Plot in Design mode (see Display an X-Y Plot in Design Mode).
2. Perform one of the following:
   • Deselect the Design Mode button on the Quick Access Toolbar.

   Or:

   • Deselect the Design Mode command on the ViewX ribbon's Edit tab.
