In order to plot your data, you must first have a<br />

graph template designed for your protocol. Graph<br />

templates define not only what data is plotted, but<br />

where the graph template is accessed from, and the<br />

physical properties of the graph.<br />

Creating a Graph Template<br />

Graph templates are used to plot data in a protocol.<br />

These templates define properties such as:<br />

• Which data is to be plotted<br />

• Physical properties of the graph - e.g. error<br />

bars, gridlines, graph type, data point markers<br />

• Where the graph template can be accessed<br />

from<br />

To create a new graph template, right-click the<br />

Graph Templates folder in the Protocol<br />

Definition tree (for the appropriate protocol), and<br />

select New Template. A new template is listed<br />

under the folder.<br />

To begin defining a template:<br />

1. Click the graph template name (found in the<br />

Graph Templates folder) in the Protocol<br />

Definition tree.<br />

The graph template details open in the right<br />

frame.<br />

2. Enter the desired information:<br />

• Template Name - a name for the template<br />

• <strong>Com</strong>ment - additional comments for the<br />

template.<br />

• Available From - The table in the protocol<br />

where this graph template can be accessed<br />

from. That is, the place where the user can<br />

right-click and choose to plot the data, using<br />

this template.<br />

• Get Data From - The table the plotted data<br />

is taken from. This may or may not match<br />

the Available From field.<br />

• X-Axis - The field from which the<br />

application should populate the X-Axis.<br />

• Y-Axis - The field from which the<br />

application should populate the Y-Axis.<br />

3. Click Graph Options to define the graph<br />

options.<br />

The Graph Options dialog appears. Please see<br />

“Graphing Options” on page 132 for more<br />

information.<br />

4. Click Save Changes.<br />

Plotting Data using a Graph Template<br />

Graphs are viewed using the Graph Viewer. See<br />

“Related Graphical Data” on page 108 for more<br />

information.<br />

NOTE: If the opened template is new, the above frame<br />

is populated with default information.<br />

Fitting Data to a Curve<br />

The graphing interface will fit any data to any curve<br />

as long as the curve is defined in the system. Two<br />

default curves are defined:<br />

• Sigmoidal-dose response<br />

• One Phase exponential decay<br />

For more information about how to define a new<br />

curve fit equation, please see “Define a New Curve<br />

Fit Calculation” on page 121.<br />

If the correct curve is already defined, do the<br />

following to fit plotted data to a curve:<br />
