ProVision Shortcuts

By The Engineers · January 1, 2011

← Back to White Papers

Many of you have been using our ProVision® software for a while now and may have found a few of the shortcuts in the software. Below you will find a complete list of shortcuts for ProVision®. I hope that you find this useful and that it makes your job easier.

General Shortcuts for Almost Any Kind of Graph

  • Page Up: Adjust Interval Size (Changes interval to a larger interval)*
  • Page Down: Adjust Interval Size (back to a lower interval)*

*Higher or lower interval must be divisible by the original interval when adjusting the interval size, interval is converted to seconds (i.e. 2 minute interval = 120 seconds)

  • Q Brings up the same menu as right-clicking
  • E Export dialog (Used to copy graphs or save them as images)
  • P Print graph
  • S Toggle between color and Black and white
  • D Export text dialog
  • K Increase line thickness
  • J Decrease line thickness
  • X Export dialog (Shortcut key is identical to ‘E’)
  • B Set the upper and lower bounds
  • M Maximize graph
  • T Toggle the Point Table ON or OFF; with the Point Table ON you can:
    • ← OR → advances the ‘Point’ to the previous or next interval. Page Up OR Page Down keys advance 20 intervals at a time backward or forward

Zooming

Use the mouse to zoom in on any graph by left clicking and holding, then dragging over the graph in either direction to make a window. Once you release the left button the graph will zoom into the window you made. With a Zoom window ON, in a graph, you can:

  • ← OR → Moves the zoomed window Left or Right, through the interval data.
  • U Undo one zoom level
  • Z Undo all zoom levels

Control Shortcuts

There are also Ctrl shortcuts, most of which are Windows standards:

  • Ctrl+O: Open file
  • Ctrl+Z: Undo
  • Ctrl+X: Cut
  • Ctrl+Y: Redo
  • Ctrl+S: Save file
  • F1: Help
  • Ctrl+V: Paste
  • Ctrl+Shift+U: Full screen
  • Ctrl+P: Print
  • Ctrl+Shift+F: Find in files
  • Ctrl+C: Copy
  • Ctrl+Shift+B: Display or hide the shortcut bar

Shortcuts for the Waveform Capture Only

  • 3 Toggle between 3-phase and individual phase views
  • I Toggle between Line-to-neutral voltages and Line-to-line voltages (Only if recorded as a WYE)
  • L Select a different waveform

Shortcuts for the Interval Graph Only

  • 1 Toggle 1V marker for stray voltage graphs
  • 5 Toggle 0.5V marker for stray voltage graphs
  • >, < Increase or decrease right-axis scale, used to shrink or enlarge current traces on Voltage and Current RMS Interval graph
  • R Launch interval report for selected zoom area (ProVision 1.51 only)

Shortcuts for the Harmonic Magnitudes Graph Only

  • F Toggle fundamental magnitude on and off
