Plot Quantity Selection Tool

To access this dialog:
In the Plot Template Editor, on any plot tab, choose Custom Plot, and click New Quantity.

Use this dialog to add one or more plot quantities to the plot template. After selecting the desired quantities, click OK to close the dialog.

Adding Individual Registers

On the Registers tab, browse to the desired register.
Click Add or press the space bar to choose the register. Repeat to add consecutive registers quickly. The registers will appear in the Quantities to Add to Plot Template list.

Adding Groups of Registers

Use groups to quickly add the basic status registers or tuning terms of any axis.

On the Groups tab, double-click an axis. The registers will appear in the Quantities to Add to Plot Template list.

Removing and Moving Registers

Use the Remove, Move Up , or Move Down buttons to remove or re-order registers in the Quantities to Add to Plot Template box.

Adding Quantities for Multiple Axes At Once

You can choose to add quantities for many axes at once. This can be done by duplicating the existing quantities in the plot template, or by adding new ones to the plot template and duplicating them.

If the plot template does not already contain the quantities you wish to duplicate, then, from the Registers tab, add the desired registers from a single axis, so that they appear in the Quantities to Add to Plot Template box.
Click Duplicate for Axes. The Plot Quantity Duplication Tool will open.
In the Quantities to Duplicate box, choose the quantities you wish to duplicate.
In the Axes for Quantity Duplication box, choose all the axes for which you want to add the selected quantities. Use the Select All and Clear All buttons to speed up the process if there are many axes.
Click OK to close the Plot Quantity Duplication Tool. The new quantities will now appear in the Quantities to Add to Plot Template list.

Advanced Quantities

On the Advanced tab, you can add the following:

Mean Squared Error

The Mean Squared Error calculates a single number that records indicates how closely two registers tracked each other during the plot. The Mean Squared Error is typically using during manual tuning to compare how close two plot quantities are, such as Target and Actual Position. The smaller the number, the closer the items tracked.

Choose Standard Error Quantity to select the Mean Squared Error between the Target and Actual Values of an axis control quantity. Choose Custom Error Quantity to select the Mean Squared Error between any two registers that you choose.

Rate of Change of a Register

This option will plot the calculated rate of change of a register. If the original register is already included in the plot, plotting the rate of change does not require the plot to capture another register. This allows the plot template to include more quantities than the number of data sets that the plot is limited to. Also, because using the rate of change may reduce the number of plot items to upload, the plot can upload faster, which will be noticeable when using the slower monitor ports on the RMC75S and RMC75P.
