State Chart Menu

Introduction

Accessing the

State Chart

Menu

Selecting the Axes for the Chart

The State Chart Menu allows you to build X-Y plots of label activity using state data. The Y-axis always represents data values for a specified label. You can select whether the X-axis represents states (i.e., rows in the State List) or the data values for another label. You can scale both the axes for selective viewing of the data of interest. An accumulate mode allows the chart display to build up over several runs.

When states are plotted along the X-axis, X and O markers, synchronized with those in the normal State Listing, are available. The markers can be positioned in the State Chart display and both the current sample (state or time) relative to trigger point and the corresponding Y-axis data value can be viewed in the State Listing display.

The Chart menu is accessed by selecting the field directly to the right of the Module select field in the upper left corner of the screen. When the pop-up appears you will see the options Chart 1, Chart 2, or both depending on which analyzer is a state analyzer. If both analyzers are state analyzers you will see both Chart 1 and Chart 2. You select your desired option by touching the appropriate field in the pop up.

When using the State Chart display, you should first select what data you want plotted on each axis. You assign a label to the vertical axis of the chart by selecting the XY Chart of ______ field in the menu. When

selected, a pop up appears in which you select one of the labels that were defined in the State Format Specification Menu. The X-axis assignment field toggles between State and Label when selected. When label is selected, a third field appears to the right of Label that displays one of the defined labels. To select your desired label, select the label name field to display a pop up in which all the defined labels are displayed. You then select one of the defined labels and the pop up closes.
