Abstract

We present a set of data-plotting techniques that help users, especially those with time constraints, in inferring conclusions flom measurement data quickly and with minimal efforts. The developed methods deal with speeding up the data file reading process, simplifying the user interface, and more importantly, enabling users to obtain automatically designed and customized plots whose attributes match those of previously designed ones. Together with a suite of presentation and analysis tools, the techniques are employed to build an application, which we use to test their performance. Finally, we analyze the application in terms of the standard reference model (SRM).
