X-Y chart

This is a chart for two channels, showing on a display with x and y axes. Both channels must have the same sample rate.

The X-Y chart shows the history of the data over a time period, until it is reset. For example, longitude and latitude values from GPS input may be used to plot a test vehicle’s path.

  • X axis (default): Display a single x-axis inheriting the properties of the first channel added to the chart.
  • Y axis: (default): Display a single y-axis inheriting the properties of the second channel added to the chart.

The following options are available from the menu. Click the options menu button:

  • Freeze: Select to pause the data display. Deselect to resume live data.
  • Properties: Open the chart properties dialog box.
  • Reset: Select to clear the chart during a test run.
  • Show legend: Select to show a legend of channel names and colors in the field of the chart.
  • Plot points: Select to show data as points (x,y) on the plot.
