Click to normalize the gas composition data values so that the total value equals 1.0 or 100% (dependent upon the applicable unit set, either Fraction or Percent). Note: When initiated, normalization is performed in compliance with GPA 2172-09, therefore uninvolved component values are normalized to equal "0" when normalization occurs. See CygNet Measurement Data Calculation for more information. |

Record details << >> |
If applicable, use the << and >> navigation buttons and the Record details button to select a sequential record span, within the currently displayed control time window, for which you want to view record details. |
Record Details Button
When editing records, each property page provides access to a pair of navigation buttons (<<, >>) and a Record details button at the bottom of the page. You can use this feature to verify auditing information and, if there are multiple records displayed within the current time window shown in the control, to quickly access contiguous gas analysis records.
When there are multiple records available within the time window, use the << and >> navigation buttons to navigate between contiguous records, and find one for which you want to view more concise information about the gas analysis record change(s). As you navigate between records, the current record properties are reflected in the common properties area in the top pane of the dialog box.
Once the desired record is found, click Record details to access the Record Details dialog box where you can view details such as the date and time of the gas analysis record change, the ID of the user who made the change, and optionally the audit category assigned and/or any comments entered regarding the change.
See Viewing Record Details for more information.
