The History Window
As you ring touches during a session, the History window accumulates all the results and presents them in a list with a one-line graph of each touch on the right.
Individual touches from the session can be saved to a personal folder, which you can use to show an improving trend over time, for example. Touches can be deleted when no longer required. They are stored as plain text, one file per touch, which means it is easy to copy or reorganise touches using Windows Explorer.
The graph panel on the right can show one of three formats.
- Mean,SD: Shows the same little bar graphic of mean and standard deviation that is drawn at the top of the histogram on the Striking window. Additionally, it draws a rectangle around the full extent of your ringing.
- Histogram: Squeezes the entire histogram from the Striking window into one line, using depth of colour to indicate column height.
- Average Error: Summarises the accuracy of the ringing in a single number (shown in a column of the list), being the average amount by which all the blows in the touch differed from perfection. It is probably the most useful of the three as it provides an easy comparison between all the touches shown. It is calibrated in milliseconds so the comparison is meaningful even between, say, minor and maximus.
Multiple User Bells
If a touch involved multiple user bells (e.g. after real ringing), the statistics shown are the aggregate statistics for all the participants combined. Individual statistics can be seen by using the
Striking window.
The Control Panel
| The control panel for the History window has options for controlling automatic saving of touches.
