Model Data

Sets

You may select the experimental sets in the Project here. Only selected sets are shown in the chart.

Options

The available options are:

• Parity : When this option is enabled, the variable selected in X Axis will display its Calculated values in the X axis and its Experimental values in the Y axis.
  Consequently, the Y Axis section will be disabled.
  
• Ignore Zero Measurements : When this box is checked, the points that have measurements values equal to zero are not displayed in the chart.
  
• Series Type : This is a filter of the variable types that will appear in X Axis and Y Axis. When selecting a given type, the variables shown are filtered by that type and thus simpler to find in the combo. By default, Total Moles with Show All is selected. If the project has variables selected in one or more phases in Measurements node, those phases will also appear as options here. Same for Yield, Conversion and Selectivity: if they are defined in the Yield Calculations node, they will appear as options here. For example, if you wish to plot Yield vs Conversion, you can choose Yield Calculations which limits the options in the X axis and Y axis to variables whose yield/conversion is defined. The avoids the need to scroll through a large list.
  
• X Axis : The default is set to the main integration variable such as Time for Batch, Volume or Catalyst Mass for PFR, CSTR Point for CSTR. However, any variable can be chosen here as described below.
  
• Variable : You can select only one variable for the X axis. All variables available here correspond to the Series Type selected. When having several variables in the project, type the first letters of the variable you want to select and the variables will be filtered accordingly.
  
• Type : By default, Auto is selected, meaning than both Experimental and Calculated points are shown. You can change these options to filter the values displayed in the chart.
  
• Data Point : By default Show All is selected. You can restrict to the First or the Last point for each dataset.
  
• Auto : The checkbox is selected by default, meaning that the minimum and maximum values for the X axis are automatically adjusted to the data. Uncheck the Auto option to manually define the Min / Max values.
  
• Min and Max: When the Auto option above is disabled, you can set the minimum and maximum values for the axis.
  
• Y Axis : Here you can select the variables that will display for the Y axis.
  The options are same as for the X Axis, with the difference that you can select more than one variable.
  

Charts

This chart displays the experimental and/or calculated variable values at each data point, for the selected Sets and variables chosen in the Options tab.

For the derived quantities and the pseudo-compounds, the values are shown in Total Moles or Total Mass and they are obtained by the methods detailed in Note1.

Chart Options

Options available on right clicking the chart are described below.

• Copy : It copies a metadata file of the graph so it can be pasted into a Powerpoint, Excel or Word file. It can be also be done by using "Ctrl + C". When you paste into the destination, the size of the figure will be the same as seen in the chart view.
  
• Labels : The Y-axis value is displayed in the chart
  
• Legend : It allows you to hide/show the Legend of the chart. This is useful when you want to make reports with several charts.
  
• Reset Zoom : After zooming into the chart, you can return to the default view.
  
• Points : When enabled, all points will be indicated in the chart. It is useful to show the calculated points, that by default are not shown as only the line is displayed.
  
• CheckBox Marker : When the Legend is enabled, you can activate this option so to show checkboxes in the legend for every series. This is convenient to hide a series by unselecting its checkbox in the legend.
  
• Copy Fixed : It copies a jpg file of the graph with a predefined size to the clipboard. Thus, when pasting it into the destination file, the size is fixed and independent of the size of the chart view. This is useful when you are copying several charts to a powerpoint report and would like to preserve the same size in the report. This copy can also be done with the "Ctrl + F" keys.
  
• Copy Legend : It copies a jpg file of the Legend only, with a predefined size to the clipboard. This copy can also be done with the "Ctrl + L" keys.
  
• Settings : It allows you to change advanced options on the graph.
  

You may use the Zoom In/Out feature in this chart.

Values

This view displays the experimental and calculated variable values at each data point, for the Selected Variable.
Please note that the information displayed is for the compound or process variable and datapoints selected in the Options tab and for all the sets chosen in the Sets tab.
For the derived quantities and the pseudo-compounds, the values are shown in Total Moles or Total Mass and they are obtained by the methods detailed in Note1.
