Telemetry plots: plot, overlay and navigate

Steps

1. 1

   Add plots

   Click + in the panel toolbar to open Add plot, search and tick channels, then click Create plot. With one channel you can enter a Plot name; several channels get one plot each. A panel holds up to 16 plots.

2. 2

   Overlay signals

   To show several channels in one plot, click the edit button on its tab (Edit plot) or the + at the end of its legend (Add a channel to this plot), tick up to 12 channels and click Save plot.

3. 3

   Place cursors

   Click a plot to place the cursor. Shift-click sets a second cursor, and Shift-drag measures a range between two cursors.

4. 4

   Zoom and pan

   Drag to pan, use ⌘/Ctrl + scroll or pinch to zoom at the pointer, swipe sideways to pan, and double-click to fit the current corner or the full range. The toolbar also has Pan earlier, Zoom in (+), Zoom out (-), Pan later and Full range.

5. 5

   Tell laps apart

   Open Plot appearance (palette icon) and set Color to Automatic, Channel or Lap. Automatic and Lap give each lap its own color and separate a plot's channels by line pattern; Channel colors by channel and draws laps with different patterns.

6. 6

   Tidy up

   Drag plot tabs to reorder them, click a tab to jump to its plot, and close a plot with ×; Undo deletion brings it back. Click a channel name in the legend to hide or show it.
