Data Browser Preferences

Preferences are configured via the menu
CSS/Preferences
, then navigating to
CSS Applications/Trends/Data Browser.

Options

Default to Autoscale for new PV

Should newly added PVs use "auto scale"?

Show Request Types

Preferably, the Data Browser Plot will request data optimized for plotting, and automatically display raw samples when you zoomed in far enough.

But if you prefer to eat up memory for no good reason and crash the application, you have the option of user-selectable request types, including raw samples.

Plot Bins

Number of optimized samples that the Data Browser requests. A value like 200 should give a good compromize: You see what the data looks like (min, max, averate) without requiring too much memory and network traffic.

Default Start/End Time

Start and end times used for new plots.

Archive Server URLs

Default archive server URLs shown in the Archive View.

Default Archives for new PVs

Default archive server URLs and keys used for new PVs. In the Data Browser Editor, you can of course change those or add new ones from the Archive View.
