Moving the cursor over several dataviews at the same time

[pbrm]

Hi Ni-people!

I am using SE almost every day now since a month I believe and I am very pleased with it,

although there are some minor niceties I would like, like for example, now we can move a cursor
on each separate Dataview, but it be "nice" to be able to move one cursor at the same time
over different Dataviews so the cursor is positioned on the same time on every dataview.

I know it can be done by positioning te cursor on each separate graph, but if one wants to 'follow' a signal
for example and look at the values of other signals on the same time it would be nice 🙂
Also is there a patch comming out for the autorenaming graph thing that happens now? Every time I set
a graph name and measure the graph is automatically renamed to amplitude....

Hi (from equally rainy Austin)

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, being able to "synchronize" cursors across multiple data viewers is something that we are definitely planning on doing in the future.

For the auto-renaming issue, I'm assuming that you're renaming the Y-Axis of the graph, but every time you measure, the signal's Y-Units are overwriting your change. Is that correct? Out of curiosity, are you trying to change the signal's Y-Units or if you had a location above the graph where you could provide a "name", you would rather change that?

Thank you,

Phil

yes indeed, the Y axis are renamed to amplitude each time I measure which is anoying of course 🙂
mm a graph name above the graph is nice but in my case I often put 4 graphs at the same time
one above the other so there is little space left for a text label above, but in the case of 2 graphs, that
would be nice indeed.

I've used a routine from this forum to write values in a column to a file (savetoascii I believe) but now
it only supports 7 values, would be nice to be able to do that with any given number of values and maybe
support for one header in this file, eg:

speed      voltage1    sensorvoltage

300          1.2             1.19.... and so on

kind regards.

Yes, I recall your Save To ASCII suggestion. That feature you requested has been added to our upcoming release. You should at that point be able to save as many scalars as you like. The text file will be formated with the signals names at the top of the file and the values below the headers in columns. There will also be an option so that the headers are only written out the first time the file is written to, so that pressing the Run Once button over and over will not keep inserting new headers in append mode (I believe you had expressed this need).

Thanks again for that feedback,

Phil
