About Digital Display
When a line is displayed as Digital, its reading is a word
or a number as shown for all the lines in Figure 4.5.
You can change the display of the lines as follows:
• If the selected line’s data reading is a word, such as On,
Off, Open, Closed, etc., tyou can change the line’s display
back and forth between Digital.
• If the selected line’s data reading is a number, such as 1.1
V, 23.3 Amps, etc., you can change the line to also display
as a graph.
About Graph Display
If a selected line’s data reading is a number (such as
14.4 V, 1.1 V, or 23 Amps), you can use the Graph function
key to display the line’s data as a graph.
Note: The function key toggles from Graph to Digital and
back to Graph.
