StatViewer Operations

Listed below are some of the StatViewer's main functions:

  • Custom View Wizard. You can customize the view as per need with the help of this option. For more information, you can refer to Creating Custom Views.

  • Custom Graph. The custom graph is derived from another view and allows the user to display a detailed chart view of a specific statistic from a specific view. Custom Graph is a custom-created view that contains detailed charts based on one or more statistics, at the user’s convenience. Statistics can be added to a time or a non–time series Custom Graph. Refer to Adding a Custom Graph for more information.

  • Drill-Down Views. Any global aggregated view can be drilled down to get more in-depth information. Drilled-down views can be created both from chart and grid views. For more information, refer to Drill-Down Views.

  • Exporting Views. You can export a chart view and save it to your local drive.

  • Generating CSV Files. You can generate a .csv file via StatViewer for specific views. You can make this request anytime while a test is running. You can enable or disable CSV generation individually for each StatViewer view. You can also add a .csv file dynamically while a test is running. CSV file generation can handle the statistics that are added or removed from the view while the test is running. You can equally specify the frequency of CSV logging on a per-view basis. For more information, please refer to Generating CSV Files.

  • Creating an Alert. You can use the StatViewer GUI Alert feature to define alerts based on statistics. This is helpful in distinguishing between normal and special statistics. For more information, please refer to GUI Alerts.

  • Generating Reports. Reporter is a common framework that is used by many Keysight software applications. The reporter framework does not own the data. Actually, it is the application that provides data to the reporter. The application also provides instructions to the reporter to generate different kinds of reports. The reporter framework has been integrated with StatViewer CSV. This Reporter enhancement allows it to import .csv files generated by StatViewer. For more information, please refer to Generating Reports.

  • Replaying Test Results. This function helps to load and replay previous test results as long as it is accessible from the disk. For more information, please refer to Replaying Test Results.

  • Replaying and Comparing Result Groups. You can replay/compare a test result from a test run. For more information, please refer to Replaying and Comparing Result Groups. However, to replay/compare a test result, you must enable Data Store. Data Store enables the ongoing test to save data on the disk for future replay or query. The test requires a folder in order to save data. This folder is the test result path. For more information, please refer to Data Store.

    You can also compare multiple iterations. All information related to result sets/result groups are saved for each test to a separate file and they are not bound to the test results. When users try to replay/compare result sets/result groups, the corresponding information saved earlier is loaded and used to identify the timestamps that are loaded using the regular replay functionality. For more information, please refer to Comparing Multiple Iterations.

  • Using Event Viewer. An event is any significant occurrence in your application that requires a notification. Your application maintains a log for every event in the Event Viewer. The Event Viewer helps you identify and diagnose the problems, or predict potential problems. For more information, please refer to Using Event Viewer.
