There are two basic methods to select signals for display:

  • A double-click on the desired signal in the signal tree.

    • If no view has been opened yet, a new trend graph containing this signal is opened.

    • If one or more trend graph(s) are already opened, the signal will be added to the focused trend graph.

    • If another view is active, e. g. FFT or scope view, the signal will be added to this view.

    You can also drag and drop the signal into the display window. This method also applies to many other views, not just to the trend graph.

With regard to the trend graph, these two methods offer further helpful variants for daily use.

Often, it does not make sense to open a separate chart for each signal, as the display window is filled quiet quickly and therefore hard to read. So, you can position several signals in one trend view and decide whether the signals get their own Y-axis or a joint one.

  • Select the first signal: Drag the desired signal into an open range of the trend graph.

  • Select another signal to be displayed in a new signal chart: Drag the desired signal in the area of the X-axis in the display window or double-click on the signal name in the tree.

  • Presenting another signal in an existing graph: Simply drag the desired signal into the area of the desired graph. The signal is displayed in the same graph but with its own Y-axis.

  • Select another signal to be displayed in an existing chart, but with respect to the same Y-axis as the existing signal: Drag the desired signal in the area of the Y-axis of the requested chart. Both signals now use the same Y-axis. A new color is automatically assigned to the new signal. In the upper left corner of the chart, you will find the signal names (legend). Signals with a common axis are linked by a line.
