Accessing data

Before you can use the Graph Explorer, you must choose the data that you want to view. You can view data for one or more hourly baselines or scenarios and select the metrics that you want to see for each data type.

You access the baseline and scenario data by

• using the Graph Explorer Wizard to select one or more baselines or scenarios and a customized data set (see Using-the-Graph-Explorer-Wizard)
• using the Select Input dialog box to select one or more baselines or scenarios from the calendar

Sample baselines can be found at September 15, 2006.

• loading a scenario from the Scenario Explorer (see Selecting-data-views-from-the-navigation-tree)

When the Graph Explorer contains no data, you are prompted to open either the Graph Explorer Wizard or the Select Input dialog box when you open the tool.

Select the metrics you want to see for each data type using either

• Graph Explorer Wizard (see Using-the-Graph-Explorer-Wizard)
• the Metrics filter button on the workspace toolbar (see Selecting-metrics-for-a-data-type).
