7.2 Options for the Plots window
The
Plots
window consists of two parts: the
Average
plot for longer acquisition times and the
Trigger
plot for
high-accuracy plots of triggered events. In addition to the settings for the plots in the
Settings
window of the
PPK, there are several options for the plots in the
Plots
window.
Caution:
Depending on computer configuration, both plots cannot run in parallel. Data transfer may
slow down. For better results, it is recommended to use only one plot at a time. To do so, click
Stop
for
the plot you decide not to use.
In the
Plots
window, you can:
• Zoom in/out
• Scale the plots, both X and Y axis
• Move the cursors
• Transform the plot to logarithmic view or power spectrum (FFT)
• Export the plots to standard image files (for example PNG, TIF, JPG), scalable vector graphics (SVG) and CSV
The options are as follows:
Zooming in/out
To zoom in or out of a plot, place your mouse over
the plot and use the mouse scroll wheel. Scroll up to
zoom in. Scroll down to zoom out.
Scaling the plots (X/Y axis)
Scale the plots by using the mouse operations or the
context menu.
• Using a mouse: Click and hold the right mouse-
button as you move the mouse across the plot:
left/right for the X axis or up/down for the Y axis.
• Using the context menu: Right-click the mouse
over a plot. In the context menu, select the
X
Axis
/
Y Axis
option and then the appropriate
action for the X/Y axis. Select the
View All
option
to view the entire plot.
Moving the cursors
To move a cursor, click and hold the left mouse-
button over the selected cursor and drag to where
you want to place it.
Transforming the plots
To transform a plot to logarithmic view or power
spectrum (FFT), use the context menu. Select
Plot
Options
>
Transforms
. Then select one of the three
options:
Power Spectrum (FFT)
,
Log X
, or
Log Y
.
Deselect the option to go back to the default view.
Exporting the plots
Select
Export...
in the context menu. The
Export
dialog box will appear.
To export both plots, select the
Entire scene
option.
To export each plot individually, select either the first
Plot
item for the
Average
plot or the second for the
Trigger
plot.
