A method for displaying measurement information from at least one sensor of a machine, the method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory coupled to the computing device, a data set based on measurement information from the one sensor, the data set has a first dimension and a second dimension and a plurality of data points, each data point has a first value associated with the first dimension and a second value associated with the second dimension, the first dimension is divided into multiple subunits, the data set contains multiple data points for each subunit, each subunit includes a minimum value, a maximum value, a distribution, a mode, and a mean based on the associated data points;
- and
- displaying, with a display device, a plot of the data set, the plot includes a first axis corresponding with the first dimension of the data set and a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, corresponding with the second dimension of the data set, and a plurality of adjacent gradients,
- wherein each gradient has a length that is parallel to the second axis, each gradient corresponds with a different one of the subunits and visually represents the minimum value and the maximum value, wherein each gradient comprises a variation of color, brightness, or transparency from the mode or the mean to the minimum and maximum values.
A computing device for displaying measurement information from at least one sensor of a machine, the computing device comprises a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a display device coupled to the processor, the memory contains processor-executable instructions for performing the steps of:
- storing, in the memory, a data set based on measurement information from the one sensor, the data set has a first dimension and a second dimension and a plurality of data points, each data point has a first value associated with the first dimension and a second value associated with the second dimension, the first dimension is divided into multiple subunits, the data set contains multiple data points for each subunit, each subunit includes a minimum value, a maximum value, a distribution, a mode, and a mean based on the associated data points;
- and
- displaying, with the display device, a plot of the data set, the plot includes a first axis corresponding with the first dimension of the data set and a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, corresponding with the second dimension of the data set, and a plurality of adjacent gradients,
- wherein each gradient has a length that is parallel to the second axis, each gradient corresponds with a different one of the subunits and visually represents the minimum value and the maximum value, wherein each gradient comprises a variation of color, brightness, or transparency from the mode or the mean to the minimum and maximum values.
A system for displaying measurement information from at least one sensor of a machine, the system comprising the machine, the at least one sensor, a computing device including a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a display device coupled to the processor, the memory contains processor-executable instructions for performing the steps of:
- storing, in the memory, a data set based on measurement information from the one sensor, the data set has a first dimension and a second dimension and a plurality of data points, each data point has a first value associated with the first dimension and a second value associated with the second dimension, the first dimension is divided into multiple subunits, the data set contains multiple data points for each subunit, each subunit includes a minimum value, a maximum value, a distribution, a mode, and a mean based on the associated data points;
- and
- displaying, with the display device, a plot of the data set, the plot includes a first axis corresponding with the first dimension of the data set and a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, corresponding with the second dimension of the data set, and a plurality of adjacent gradients,
- wherein each gradient has a length that is parallel to the second axis, each gradient corresponds with a different one of the subunits and visually represents the minimum value and the maximum value, wherein each gradient comprises a variation of color, brightness, or transparency from the mode or the mean to the minimum and maximum values.
