Delta Bar Chart
Note |
This INCA feature is available only if the INCA-EV-Instruments add-on is installed. For more information, see the INCA Installation Guide. Select ? > Manuals and Tutorials. |
The Delta Bar Chart allows you to visualize all measure variables at the same time. An auxiliary line for the minimum and maximum variable makes the overview easier to read.
For example, you can use the delta bar chart to do the following:
Determine the voltage and temperature range in battery cells.
Determine the imbalance of each battery cell.
This instrument consists of the following components:

Number of Signals
Displays the number of measure variables assigned to the instrument.
Average
Displays the average value of all measure variables assigned to the instrument.
Total Values
Displays the total value of all measure variables assigned to the instrument.
Min Value
Displays the minimum value of all measure variable assigned to the instrument.
Max Value
Displays the maximum value of all measure variable assigned to the instrument.
Neg Imbalance
Displays the highest negative deviation from the average value of all measure variable assigned to the instrument.
Pos Imbalance
Displays the highest positive deviation from the average value of all measure variable assigned to the instrument.
Displays the imbalance of the measure variables. The imbalance bars displayed for each measure variable are colored red or blue.
Bar Color | Description |
|---|---|
--- | Positive deviation from the average value of all measure variables. |
--- | Negative deviation from the average value of all measure variables. |
To open the context menu, right-click in the Delta Bar Chart window.
This menu contains the following functions:
Measure Rate
Opens a dialog box for changing the raster for the selected measure variables if more than one measure rate is possible. You can also see information here about the default raster.
Add Variable
Adds another variable to the window.
Remove Variable
Removes a variable from the window.
Copy Variable to Window
Copies one or more variables to another window.
Move Variable to Window
Moves one or more variables to another window.
Copies variable names to the clipboard.
About Variable
Opens the About Variable dialog box.
Properties
Opens the Properties dialog box.
The instrument properties are displayed in the following tables:
This table contains the following properties:
Name
Displays the name of the Bar Chart Instrument.
Unit
Displays the unit of the measure variable.
Imbalance Unit
Displays the imbalance unit of the measure variable.
Conversion Factor
Defines the conversion factor of the bar chart instrument.
Name
Displays the names of the measure variables contained in the bar chart instrument.
Device
Displays the name of the devices to which the measure variable belongs.
