How to Use the Machine Chrono/Hour-by-Hour Whiteboard

The Machine Chrono screen displays the machine chronological report, production count bars, and different gauges. The default configuration is a 60-minute window divided into five minute gaps, which can be changed in the settings menu.

Similar to the Area Level Whiteboard, in this view there are three ways to navigate to a different time period.

  1. Use the left and right arrows to move backwards or forwards in time.

  2. Use the double right arrow to move to the current time period.

  3. Click on the Settings Icon in order to specify a certain date.

From this view, you can navigate to the Machine Level Whiteboard by clicking the [name-date-hour] header and other view options by clicking the Navigation Bar.
