Dashboards
Easy as ABC!
DaqMon makes building charts dead-simple so that anyone can create stunning dashboards.
Neither do you need highly skilled software engineers who craft some magic SQL statements, nor do you need a degree in database management to understand what's going on.
Defining a chart is a matter of seconds: you just select the channels and DaqMon will immediately build a beautiful chart with meaningful default values (e.g. axis names, ranges, etc.).
Rearranging and resizing the charts is equally simple: just drag & drop the chart to the desired location - done!
Visual Controls
Recorder
Overview
The recorder is the most used and most powerful visual control. It shows your data over time (x-axis).
Mix line-chart or scatter-plot in a single recorder
Linear or logarithmic y-axis
Mix channels from all your measurement devices in a single recorder
Automatic aggregation: In the high-level view DaqMon will automatically show aggregated data which makes the display lightning fast. Choose from Min, Max, Min-Max or Average
Tooltip window: shows details of the data for immediate analysis
Zoom feature
The powerful zoom feature is easy to use: just click and hold to select the region of interest, then click to zoom in.
To zoom out you can double-click (or right-click) anywhere in the chart area.

Line Chart
Scatter Plot
Bar Chart
Bar-charts show the channels on the x-axis and aggregated data over the selected duration on the y-axis.
Linear or logarithmic y-axis
Optional series labels on the bars
Mix channels from all your measurement devices in a single bar-chart
Aggregation: choose from Min, Max, Sum, Count or Average
Tooltip window: shows details of the data for immediate analysis
Heatmap
The Heatmap is a colour-coded display of 2-dimensional data. You can choose 3 channels from the same channel group and immediately spot "hot" or "cold" regions.
X-axis: value or time
The interactive colour map can highlight and filter the data
Linear or logarithmic axes
Mix channels from all your measurement devices in a single bar-chart
Aggregation: Choose from Min, Max, Sum, Count or Average
Tooltip window: shows details of the data for immediate analysis
Table
The table control supports numeric and text data. It is very flexible and the conditional formatting allows to easily identify data of interest.
Multiple formatting options are supported (text-styles, background-colour, etc.). You can specify different formatting settings for the header or the values.
In addition to that you can specify conditional formatting: e.g. when the cell value is <0°C, the cell-colour should be blue.
360° Images
The control supports multiple 360° images (aka. VR photos), which can be zoomed and rotated in all directions.
Add Navigation-Hotspots to navigate between different images or Data-Hotspots to handle channel-data.
For Data-Hotspots, you can configure the colour & border, a name and an optional link to a dashboard, which will be opened when you click the hotspot.
Moreover you can assign a channel to see the current data and optionally use conditional formatting to change the border/area-colour depending on the measurement value of a channel. The current data will be displayed in a tooltip.
SVG Map
The Map control supports SVG images, which can be zoomed without loss of quality.
Named elements in the SVG can be configured to:
open a Dashboard when clicked
assign a channel to see the current data and optionally use conditional formatting to change the border/area-colour depending on the measurement value of a channel.
Static Images
Upload arbitrary images to your dashboard.
For example to:
show the locations of the measurement devices on your monitoring target
upload schematics of the measurement setup, etc.
Static Text
Use the static rich text component to add detailed descriptions about the dashboard or the measurement setup. It supports:
header styles
font styles: bold, italic underlined
bullet lists
numeric lists
text alignment
links to external websites or to other dashboards
you can even enter text in different languages
Files
Use the static files control to upload arbitrary files.
Experts can upload arbitrary files like user manuals, configuration files or executables. Any user who has access to the Dashboard can download these files.
