Cursor and Range

Create a plot with signals: Plot one or more signals as shown in the Quick Start tutorial.

Add a cursor: Press the C key to add a cursor to your plot.

You can move the cursor by clicking or dragging. Click on the desired position or drag the cursor along the x-axis.

Create a second plot: Create a second plot and add a signal to it.

Activate the cursor: Press the C key to activate a cursor in this plot as well. The cursor will be synchronized by default to the same x-value where the cursor of the first plot is located.

Convert signals: Select two signals in the same plot. Right-click on one of the signals and select Convert Signal from the Preprocessing category.

Plot in a new plot: Drag the XY-signal from the Workspace widget into a new plot and activate the cursor here as well.

With XY-signals, no vertical cursor is displayed. Instead, only a scatter point is shown, which is synchronized with the original x-axis values of the source signals.

Move data points: You can move the scatter point to other data values by using the synchronized cursors in the other plots. The point will automatically follow the cursor positions.

Activate a range: Press the R key to activate a range. Two cursors and two data points with associated scatter points will now be displayed.

Adjust the range: Move the two cursors to define the region you want to analyze.

Synchronize ranges across multiple plots: Like individual cursors, ranges are synchronized across all plots in a tab. Activate the range in other plots as well to consistently compare regions.

Range with XY-signals: Activate the range in the plot with the XY-signal as well. Two scatter points will now be displayed, showing the boundaries of the region. All data points outside this range will be automatically hidden.
