MultiMon & GraphX Software

Introduction

Site at a GlanceData loggers can collect thousands of readings, but those readings are essentially useless until they are processed and presented graphically. How can you do that quickly and efficiently? Slope Indicator has developed two affordable answers: GraphX and MultiMon.

MultiMon and GraphX are programs that process and display readings recorded by data loggers. The programs are usually supplied as part of a complete data acquisition solution that includes sensors, data acquisition equipment, and data logger programming.

MultiMon is designed for projects that require real-time processing of data. It features fully automatic updating of the display, pop-up alarms, and multiple views of the site. It can also generate trend plots and replay historical data.

GraphX is designed for projects that require efficient, but not real-time processing of readings. It generates trend plots and can replay historical data.

Both programs run on Windows 95/98/NT computers and are network compatible, so that data can be distributed easily to those who need it.

Site Views

MultiMon PlotMultiMon and GraphX can display sensor readings superimposed onto plan views and section views of the site. The background graphics for these views are created from site plans, drawings, or photographs.

If a reading exceeds an alarm limit, an alarm message pops up, and the sensor changes color to indicate one of four alarm conditions. Clicking on a sensor pops up a five-day trend plot.

Profile Plots

Both programs can generate profile plots for linked sensors, such as in-place inclinometers and beam sensors. MultiMon updates up to 50 profile plots in near real time. GraphX shows profile plots only in replay mode.

Trend Plots

GraphX Trend PlotBoth programs can generate trend plots of historical data. Plots can be zoomed into, printed, or pasted into other applications. User settings, such as sensor selection and scales, can be saved for reuse.
