Field mountable paperless recorder 4 Operation
Select to change the amount of data displayed on the screen. A longer screen interval displays more data, a shorter screen interval displays data over a shorter time period, but in more detail. In both cases, the full trace is preserved by plotting the maximum and minimum samples for each display point.
The screen intervals available in the menu are determined by the faster of the primary and secondary sample rates set for the process group during configuration – see Section 7.7.1, page 84. Unavailable screen intervals are greyed-out in the menu (color recorders) or are blanked-out when selected in the menu (monochrome recorders).
Table 4.1 shows the relationship between sample rate and screen interval for the Vertical and Horizontal Chart views.
Note.
 A 'Please Wait' message appears in the status bar while the recorder retrieves data from storage.
 Selecting a different screen interval does not affect the rate at which data is sampled.
 When in historical review mode, changing the screen interval causes the time at the cursor position to change.
Longer interval = better overview
Shorter interval = more detail
