XY Crossplots

The x-y plot shown in Figure 3 shows System Efficiency kW/ton vs. Chiller Tons.

Note: The current software gives three "preset" x-y plots. The data points corresponding to the selected graph should be active upon opening the utility. If you change the points viewed, your changes will be saved (if you login again from the same IP address), and you will need to re-activate the original points in order to view them. This has been a point of confusion for some viewers - when you open the plots for the first time, the correct points should be displayed; however, if you select different points to view, those points will be displayed though the heading and/or axes may be incorrect.

To display an x-y plot, select any plot listed under "XY Cross Plot." The next screen has four panels.

  1. Select a folder. If you are not sure which folder to look at, go to the Point Name Reference. The headings correspond to folders (AHU, CHILLER1, CHILLER2, CTOWER, POWERS, PUMPS, SYSTEM, WEATHER, & STAT_PRES).
  2. When you select a folder, the points in that folder will be displayed in panel 2. Select one or more points. You can return to panel 1 if you wish to load points from another folder as well, or continue to panel 3.
  3. The points selected in panel 2 are displayed here. If you login again from the same IP address, the points you viewed last time will be displayed here, and thus you could skip panels 1 and 2 if you wanted to view the same points again. You can select points and delete them from your list as well.
  4. The points displayed in panel 3 will be redisplayed here; select one point for the x-axis and one for the y-axis. As a default, the first point selected will be x and the second, y. Click OK to display the graph.
