A Plot panel displays scoped data in a scalable plot. Multiple data objects can be represented by multiple curves in the same plot window.
You can change the Value/Div scale (Y axis) and Time/Div scale (X axis) to zoom in or out.
By default, the plot displays the latest data available. To display earlier data use the scrollbar below the plot.

Notice
All plot panels created are stored within the Kickdrive project file. When re-opening the project, the panel is recreated automatically, but it will only display data once you Start the Scope or load a matching recording.
|
The value cursor is a thin black vertical line with a time stamp. For each data object, a color mark and a black text label shows the actual value at this specific point in time. You can move the cursor to a different position by clicking on the plot window. You can also move the time range (and the time marked by the cursor) in small steps, by using the <- | and | -> buttons located next to the scrollbar.

The Value/Div combo box configures the displayed range on the values' scale, the Y-axis of the plot. Choose from any of the available presets. It is also possible to enter your own custom scale configuration.
Possible configuration modes:
Auto – The scale changes automatically to display the current range of values.
Min/Max – The scale will is defined by the min/max boundaries entered.
Units/Div + Offset – The scale starts at the entered offset. The units/div value will define the number of units between each div, which is a minor tick on the scale. The minor ticks are those without a value to the side of them.
There are two possible formats for the configuration: standard and shorthand. While typing, a label just beside the input control will display the normalized (standard) version of your scale. A message is displayed if your current input is invalid.
