Using the XY Plot

The XY plot is used to display the relationship between two signals, x and y. In every simulation step the x and y input signals are taken as coordinates for a new point in the XY plot. Consecutive points are connected by a direct line.

Time Range Window   [Picture]

The time range window allows you to restrict the data that is used for plotting. The window is accessible from the View menu.

The time range can be modified by moving its left and right boundary. The inactive time range is grayed out. By clicking into the time range, the active time range can be shifted without changing its length. Any change of the time range is reflected in the XY plot immediately.

If a time range is specified in the XY plot parameters it is used as the default width of the time range in the time range window. A detailed parameter description is available in the XY Plot documentation.

Zoom, Save View, Export and Print

The XY plot offers the same zoom, export and print operations as the PLECS scope. See section Using the PLECS Scope for details.
