Plots and tools ========================================================== 2D Analyzer offers various possibilities to visualize measurement data. .. All plots can be prepared and used later to compare data of multiple measurements loaded in Analyzer. .. important:: All plots and tool windows positions are saved in :ref:`Templates `! .. important:: As inputs for plots and tool, also :doc:`Special Channels ` can be selected! When creating new plots at higher :doc:`license levels ` with activated User Management !!!Link!!! Plots can be created either only for current User or for all Users of Race installation. .. admonition:: Addtional manual For all plots :doc:`Phases ` can be used to organise/filter the currently displayed values of a plot, for e.g., removing in- and out-lap from Min-/Max-table.

To construct a histogram, the first step performed by 2D software is to “bin” the range of values of the selected channel - that is, divide the entire range of values into a series of intervals - and then count how many values fall into each interval. The bins are usually specified as consecutive, non-overlapping intervals of a variable. The result is a frequency of occurrence (~ a probability) for the instantaneous value of a channel to fall in one specific bin. Min-/Max-table can be opened via Analyzer-tab *Functions*, by pressing *+*. .. important:: Histogram are very suitable when it comes to suspension data analysation. .. figure:: /Images/Plots/Histogram.png :scale: 40% :align: center Comparison of rear suspension sensor data from mountainbike with two measurements Histogram Settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. important:: Histogram settings can be opened via right-clicking on histogram window. .. figure:: /Images/Plots/Histogram_Setting.png :scale: 40% :align: center Histogram settings - **Channel**: Choose histogram input channel - **Horizontal scaling**: Choose channel value range and number of subdivision (Steps) for creating the bins - **Vertical scaling**: Select auto limits or choose manual scaling - **Measurement files**: Select the files to display - **Split channel**: Create multiple histograms using the split channel - **Split phase conditions**: Devide diagrams or series by single phase conditions - **Split diagram by**: Select options how histogram should be displayed - **None (1 diagram)**: Use only one histogram window for displaying data - **Files**: If multiple measurements are loaded in Analyzer, for every measurement an own histogram window is shown - **Split channels**: Activate if obove described split channels should be used to create multiple histogram windows depending on split channel setting - **Phase conditions**: Reducing range of data (e.g., displaying histogram from rear suspension sensor with data from whole phase (e.g., fastest lap) but only when speed is between 100 and 150 km/h) - **Laps**: Split diagram by laps - **Split data by**: - **None (1 diagram)**: Use only one histogram window for displaying data - **Files**: When multiple measurements are loaded in Analyzer, overlay all histograms - **Split channels**: Activate if obove described split channels should be used to split data from histogram windows depending on split channel setting - **Phase conditions**: Reducing range of data (e.g., displaying histogram from rear suspension sensor with data from whole phase (e.g., fastest lap) but only when speed is between 100 and 150 km/h) - **Laps**: Split data by laps Graphic Settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ With *Graphic settings* various graphical elements of histogram window (background image, bars, lines, ...) can be changed. .. important:: Graphic settings can be opened via right-clicking on histogram window. .. figure:: /Images/Plots/GraphicSettings.png :scale: 60% :align: center Graphic settings View type ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ With *View type* type of Y-axis can be changed between Percent, Percent total, Values, Time and Meter .. figure:: /Images/Plots/Yaxis.png :scale: 60% :align: center View type settings Examples ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. figure:: /Images/Plots/Histogram_split.png :scale: 40% :align: center Split Histogram data of rear suspension sensor data from mountainbike by speed channel .. figure:: /Images/Plots/Histogram_comp.png :scale: 40% :align: center Overlay Histogram of rear suspension sensor data from mountainbike of two measurements .. figure:: /Images/Plots/RPM.png :scale: 60% :align: center Throttle actuation only in fastest lap with RPM as data split channel FFT ---------------------------------------------------------- A fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse. ..
