Program's user interface

During program operation two kinds of windows appear on the desktop:application window (main program's window)data windows appearing in the main window - see fig.3.1.

  • Application window contains:
  • control menu field – in the upper left corner
  • tittle bar – with program's name (LOGGER 4.1-0.4)
  • menu bar containing main menu
  • maximize, iconic buttons in upper right corner of the window
  • scrolling bars
Figure 3.1: General program's view with opened dat windows is shown on fig.

Inside the main window there are data windows known also called ``document windows''). One can open simultanuously many data windows. Data windows serve for displaying the graphs of machine's work. Sample view of data window is shown on fig.3.2. Data windows use common application menu.Data windows can be minimized or shown as icons

Data window contains:

  • control menu field – in the upper left corner
  • Title bar - with shaft name, and datalogger' serial number
  • maximize, iconic buttons in upper right corner of the window
  • graph's date in format: year – month – day, in the upper left corner
  • analog graphs' field – it occupies defined in the configuration option window's part and contains declared plots.
  • Graphs' timing information: data range begining, middle and ending is labeled in the format: hour:minute
  • position markers in the form of vertical red dashes (when applied)
  • single stroke signals' markers in form of red and green dots (if single stroke signals are present on given graph)
  • Emergency signals (if applied) - displayed in the right part of the window in two columns: short signal's name and its time offset
  • binary signals' field in the bottom part of the window. Active binary signals are shown in the form of coloured lines or diagrams,
  • data source information displayed in the lower right corner
  • range information displayed in the lower right corner
  • tabs' field enabling of choice of one configured pages. Current page's tab is marked.
Additionally data windows can contain:

  • moving cursor in the form of vertical blue line
  • moving cursor window
  • moving so called ``delta cursor'' in the form of vertical green line
  • moving ``delta cursor'' window
  • transmission progress window
  • single stroke signals window
  • ``Particuliars'' window serving for displaying additional information about emergency signals
After right mouse clicking a context menu appears on the screen. It serves for accessing of frequently used items of application menu. For a given datalogger it is possible to define multiple sets of signals to present on a single window page. The Pages' configuration section covers this subject. The LOGGEER program can simultaneously cooperate with multiple AR-2c and AR-3c dataloggers what gives possibility of viewing several data graphs deriving from different hoists.
