Applied Parameters: None

Summary

This command is used to format the selected waveform in the current chart of the Waveform Analysis window.

Access

This command can be accessed from the SimData Editor by:

Choosing the Wave » Wave Options command from the main menus.
Right-clicking on a waveform's name and choosing the Format Wave command from the context menu.

Use

First, ensure that the waveform you wish to format is selected in the Waveform Analysis window. This is achieved by clicking on the waveform name (a selected waveform will become bolder in color and have a dot to the left of its name).

Launch the command - the Format Wave dialog appears. Use the dialog to change the waveform's name, units, and color as required.

Tips

When a waveform is selected, filtering is applied, using the name of the waveform as the scope. All other waveforms in the active chart with different names will be masked (becoming dimmed). The extent of the masking - how dimmed the non-selected waveforms become - can be controlled through the use of the Mask Level slider bar, accessed by clicking the Mask Level button, located at the bottom-right of the Waveform Analysis window. If more than one waveform of the same name exists in the active chart, the non-selected instances will remain fully visible.
