Editing the Contents of a Chart

72.4.3 Editing the Contents of a Chart

Select the chart you want to edit in the list box.

Click Edit Chart.

This dialog appears:

Information Elements Tab

Here you edit the set of information elements to plot and how to present them. The information elements that can be plotted are chiefly those that represent or are derived from measured physical quantities (e.g. signal strength). Flags, frequency and channel numbers, scrambling code indices, timeslot indicators, and the like cannot be plotted.

First select information element category in the System combo box. See Information Elements and Events, chapter "Information Element Categories".

Using the arrow buttons, move the elements you want to present from the Available IEs to the Selected IEs list box. A maximum of seven elements can be presented. You can use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple items in the boxes.

The first time you move an information element to Selected IEs, it will be picked from the device the line chart is drawn for (see the title bar; for the Line Chart template it is EQ1). From elements with an argument the value with the lowest argument is picked. If you move the same element to Selected IEs again, one of two things will happen:

if the element has an argument, it is taken from the same device as before, and the value with the next higher argument is shown;

otherwise, the element is taken from the next device.

Naturally, the EQ and argument can also be edited directly at any time. This is done by clicking the Edit IE button. In the ensuing dialog you also customize the presentation of the information element:

Mobile	The device to pick the information element from. Note that it is possible to change the device for all chosen elements at once. See section "Presenting Data from a Different Device".
IE Argument	The argument (if any) of the information element.
Style: Bar	Choose this if you want the element to be plotted as successive, tightly packed vertical bars.
Style: Line	Choose this if you want the element to be plotted as a line. You can adjust the line width.
Color: Assigned to channel	This option is available only for elements made up of sorted channel lists (e.g. neighbors, scanned channels). If it is chosen, the application automatically assigns a color on the basis of what channel is shown. The point of this is to ensure that you can easily see when the sort order of the list (e.g. the neighbor ranking) changes. As far as possible, one and the same color is used throughout for a given channel.
Color: Fixed	This option is available for all elements, and consists simply in your selecting one fixed color yourself.
Upper visible limit for IE	Upper limit of the value range shown for this information element. That is, this setting adjusts the range in the Y-axis pane. For complex information elements, the limit is automatically changed for all other arguments as well.
Lower visible limit for IE	Lower limit of the value range shown for this information element. This setting works the same way as Upper visible limit for IE.
Draw threshold line at	Check this if you want to compare the plotted values with a threshold line drawn at a specified value.
Change color in dedicated mode	This option is available only when a fixed color is used for plotting. If you check this option, the plot color will turn deeper when the device enters dedicated mode, and the brighter color chosen in the Color box is reserved for idle mode. (The dedicated mode color is not user-customizable.)

Events Tab

Here you decide which events should appear in the line chart presentation.

Using the arrow buttons, move the events you want to present to the Selected Events list box.

The first time you move an element to Selected Events, it will be picked from the device the line chart is drawn for (see the title bar). If you move the same element to Selected Events again, it is taken from the next device.

Clicking the Edit Event button pops up the following dialog:

Mobile	The device to pick the event from.
Symbol	The image file used to label the vertical line indicating the event.

Additional Information Tab

Here you choose the information elements to view in the Additional Information pane. This tab works exactly like the Information Elements tab, except that here any information element can be selected.

Clicking the Edit IE button in this case only enables you to change the device and argument, since the additional information is presented only as text and not graphically.
