Adding a Table

1.

Click and select Add Table.

2.

Click the Parameter link. The Parameter Selector window appears. See Selecting a Parameter for more information on this window.

3.

Double-click on the parameter whose values will be mapped in the cells of the new table. A blank table should now appear on the Graph panel.

NOTE: Your channels list must include a channel that provides the selected parameter. If you don't have a channel to do this, VCM Scanner won't query the vehicle or the external input for this data and may not know how to transform the raw data received into meaningful values.

4.

Complete graph setup by configuring the graph's remaining parameters.

Adding a Histogram

1.

Click and select Add Histogram.

2.

Click the Parameter link in the Column Axis group. The Parameter Selector window appears. See Selecting a Parameter for more information on this window.

4.

Select the Unit for the parameter.

5.

In the Values box, enter the values for the column labels displayed on the bottom of the histogram, separated. For example, entering "400 800 1200" would create histogram with three bars centered on 400, 800, and 1200.

6.

Enter a name for this histogram in the Label field.
