The Graph Area

The graph area shows the simulated data as graphs of signal values over time. It can operate in two different modes:

• Split View. Shows each graph in its own row, which is the extension of the signal's row in the signal area.
• Joint View. Shows at most three graphs, all in the same coordinate system.

You can switch between split view and joint view using the Split View and Joint View toolbar buttons.

For both views, the horizontal axis is (simulated) time, and the scale is shown in the top of the view. Depending on whether you have specified simulation time as a number of cycles or as real time in the simulation time box in the toolbar of the main window, the scale shows the time either as the number of cycles elapsed or as the real time elapsed accordingly. In the latter case, a time unit is shown in the scale, or, if more than one minute has elapsed, the time is shown as hours, minutes and seconds, separated by colons.

The cursor is a vertical line through the whole graph area. Its exact position is shown in a box in the scale, in the top of the area. By default, the cursor is positioned at the last cycle of the simulated data, but you can move it by clicking in the graph or the scale at the time to which the cursor should be moved. The position of the cursor decides what cycle the values in the Value column are shown for.
