The "Display/Graphs" tab

This tab covers the results display control. It allows creating, fulfilling, arranging and viewing the windows and layouts. It controls the scale, units, weighting and data operations of any graphs, manages the waterfalls and extraction graphs and the markers.

Windows group

This part of the display/graph tab manages the windows creation, their refreshment and the infotrace view/hide. See windows-graph page

Note: Clicking on the bottom right icon ( File:Reports Tools Ribbons 425.png ) opens active window properties dialog. The content of this dialog varies depending on the windows type. See properties page

Add/remove windows

File:Add remove.png

Add/remove: Opens the add/remove windows dialog. This dialog allows creating and arranging the traces, graphs, windows and layouts. Layouts/windows/traces

  • One tab is displayed for each layout. Each tab is made up of a tree showing the windows and results displayed in each window.
  • File:Reports Tools Ribbons 427.jpg: Creates a new layout. A dialog box used to name the new layout is displayed by clicking on the button. A new tab is created and selected, corresponding to the new layout.
  • File:Reports Tools Ribbons 428.jpg: Creates a new window, in the layout of the selected tab. A dialog box used to name the new window is displayed by clicking on the button.
  • File:Reports Tools Ribbons 429.jpg: Adds the results selected in the window of the layout tab. If the layout does not contain any windows, a new window is created. A dialog box that shows the name of the new window is displayed. If a result is selected in the layout tab, a click on this button has no effect.
  • File:Reports Tools Ribbons 430.jpg: Renames the window selected in the layout tab. If no window is selected, a click on this button has no effect and an error message is displayed in a message box.
  • File:Reports Tools Ribbons 431.jpg: Deletes the selected window or trace selected in layout tab.

Plug-in analyzer tab: A tab is displayed for each plug-in analyzer connected.

  • Result selection: List of results provided by the plug-in analyzer selected. Multiple plug-ins may be selected if all results selected are compatible (which means that they can be displayed in the same result window).
  • Channel selection: List of plug-in analyzer channels connected, available for the result selected.
  • Operation: in the top combo-box, list of weighting which can be applied to results selected. In the middle combo-box, list of derivation/integration operations which can be applied. In the bottom combo-box, list of display units.
  • Reference / X: List of plug-in analyzer channels connected. This can be the reference. Available for results that require a reference only (cross-spectrum, for example).
  • Tracked order: List of tracked orders on channel selected. Available if result selected is an order result.

Waterfall tab

  • Analyzer result: The list of plug-in analyzers connected that provide Waterfall source results is displayed in the combo-box. The list of results provided by the plug-in analyzer selected, which can be a waterfall source is displayed in the list-box below.
  • Channel selection: List of plug-in analyzer channel connected, available for the result selected.
  • Operation: in the top combo-box, list of weighting which can be applied to the results selected is displayed. In the middle combo-box, a list of derivation/integration operations that can be applied is displayed. In the bottom combo-box, a list of display units is displayed.
  • Reference / X: List of plug-in analyzer channels connected. This can be a reference. Available for results that require a reference only (cross-spectrum, for example).
  • Tracked order: A list of tracked orders on the channel selected. Available if the result selected is an order result.

External result tab: The "Externals results" tab allows displays results saved in measurements.


  • Measurement selection: List of measurements classified by project.
  • Result selection: List of results saved in the measurement selected. Multiple selections are not available.
  • Operation: in the top combo-box, list of weighting which can be applied to results selected. In the middle combo-box, list of derivation/integration operations which can be applied. In the bottom combo-box, list of display units.

Other function

The left button is a multi-action button that can be assigned to differnts functions. To assign a function, select the corresponding item in the drop list. Note, assigning a function will apply it.

  • Reports Tools Ribbons 435.png Close all: Close all the windows in the active Layout
  • Reports Tools Ribbons 436.png Open infotrace: Opens or close (toggle) the infotrace of the active windows. The infotrace contains the trace(s) identification, the cursor and marker values and the section data for the 3D waterfall windows.

See chapter 2 –Display - § area for details

  • Reports Tools Ribbons 439.png Freeze all traces Freeze/unfreeze (toggle) all the displayed traces in the active Layout

Zoom group

Control the windows graphical zooms and auto-scaling.

See chapter 2 –Display - § Display window/graph menu / Y zoom for details

See chapter 2 –Display - § Display window/graph menu / X zoom for details

  • Reports Tools Ribbons 443.png Reset scale (CTRL+Z): Reset the Y/X/Z scale of the active window. The default value of each scale depends on the inputs range for Y, The analysis bandwidth for X and the number of point for the Z one.
