Waterfall

PARCview’s Waterfall, also called a Profile Trend, can display profile or array-type data in a concise, viewable format. For example, a waterfall could display data coming from a scanner that traverses the width of a product as it is being made, where hundreds of data points could be collected simultaneously.

The unique features of a profile-type trend include:

• Plot position-based data from an array-type “profile” tag or from an explicit tag list. Profile tag information is configured in properties.

• Use the Waterfall Options panel to launch Run Browser and to see and modify the value to color mapping.

• Cross Direction (CD) and Machine Direction (MD) Charts summarize data by position and by time.

• A Waterfall-specific Colors Tab provides a distinct look and feel.

Many of Trend’s standard features, such as Time Navigation, Run Mode, Zooming, and SmartMouse are available in Waterfalls, as well.
