Bug? MS/UB 12.0.1: Bode plotter keyboard shortcut controls for plot cursor don't work

(Win 7 )

 

In the bode plotter graph, if I right click on the cursor, I can click on the context menu for moving the graph around, and that seems to work OK, but the keyboard shortcuts assigned to these menu items do not work.  For example, the cursor should move to the next Y peak value if I press Ctrl + 2.  It doesn't seem to work.

Hi Who,

 

I tried it out and it seems to be working. Can you go to Help >> About Multisim and send me a screen shot of that window. My guess is that you are on a previous version where this issue existed.

 

The issue is resolved in 12.0.1 as far as I can tell. Hope this helps.

Hi Tayyab,

 

Looks like 12.0.1 to me. 

 

BTW, when I go to the NI website to click on Ask an engineer and have to enter my data into the form, why is only 12.0.0.1 version available instead of 12.0.1?  It's been that way for a while now. 

 

What else would you like me to try? 

 

Thanks!

I was just using it some more tonight, and it seems that if the cursor is all the way home (as far left as possible), if I right click the cursor and select Go to next Ymax => the cursor doesn't move.  However, if I manually move the cursor ever so slightly off of the home position and attempt the same thing, it works as expected.

I am seeing a similar behavior. I will try to file a Corrective Action Request for this.

 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

OK, Thanks Tayyab.  I hope the CAR will be for both items as follows:

 

  1. In the bode plotter graph, if I right click on the cursor, I can click on the context menu for moving the graph around, and that seems to work OK, but the keyboard shortcuts assigned to these menu items do not work.  For example, the cursor should move to the next Y peak value if I press Ctrl + 2.  It doesn't seem to work. 
  2. if the cursor is all the way home (as far left as possible), if I right click the cursor and select Go to next Ymax => the cursor doesn't move.  However, if I manually move the cursor ever so slightly off of the home position and attempt the same thing, it works as expected.

Thanks again.

Update on this issue.  It may be common among a variety of instruments.  I noticed that the function generator has the same problem with the frequency, amplitude and offset order of mag selectors.
