Creating a Custom Graph

Custom graphs can be time series or non-time series. You can create both by following the steps sequence in the next section.

Step 1: Generating an Empty Custom Graph

The creation of a custom graph is a two-step process, implying first the generation of an empty custom graph and then populating it with the desired statistics.

To generate an empty custom graph:

  1. Select a group in the view tree node. A context menu opens.

    This option is not available at Default and Port group level. It can be used only on views or any custom-created group.

  2. Select Add Custom Graph.The submenu options are Time Series and Non Time Series.
  3. Select the relevant option. An empty custom graph is created.

Step 2: Adding Statistics to Custom Graph

After an empty custom graph is created, you can add statistics to the view.

To add statistics to a newly-created custom graph:

  1. Select different cells in the filter-grid view and choose Add to Custom Graph from the context menu. The menu now displays a list of custom graphs that have already been created.
  2. Select New to create a new custom graph with the statistics in the grid.
  3. Select one of these two options: Time Series or Non Time Series.

You can continue to add new statistics to an existing custom graph until the limit is reached.

The number of statistics displaying in each Custom Graph is user-configurable.

  1. Select StatViewer options from the ribbon and then go to the Custom Graph tab.
  2. Or select Test Options from the ribbon in the Home menu tab. Select StatViewer and then go to the Custom Graph tab.
  3. In the Maximum Number of Stats Per Custom Graph field set a value of your choice in the 1-256 range.
  4. Select OK. The changes take effect in the current configuration.
