Abstract:
A method of displaying outputs of a plurality of process sensors on a visual display capable of visually displaying two or more graphs, the method comprising the steps of:(a) selecting in a desired order a plurality of sensors having outputs that are capable of being displayed by traces of two or more graphs of a visual display, where the plurality of sensors selected is greater than the plurality of traces that can be displayed by each graph alone; (b) associating a unit of measure with each selected sensor; (c) grouping the sensors according to the units of measure; (d) associating an axis of one graph with the unit of measure of one group of sensors; (e) associating outputs of the sensors of the one group of sensors with traces of the one graph; (f) associating an axis of another graph with the unit of measure of another group of sensors; (g) associating outputs of the sensors of the other group of sensors with traces of the other graph; and (h) displaying traces associated with the outputs of the sensors on the graphs with respect to time.
