9.2.4.2.1 Time Domain Options

The Time Domain analysis provides several options to manipulate and change the displayed data.

The Points to Display control allows the user to specify the number of points to display on the graph. This number can be less than the total points collected to allow the user to look at a smaller portion of the data. If the number is larger than the points specified to collect, all the points collected are displayed. The points are always displayed beginning from the first data point in the array.

The Display value as: control allows for the data to be displayed as:

  • Volts (Input Referred)
  • Volts
  • Codes

Note that the Volts (Input Referred) option is provided for data channels that may have gain or digital scaling active. If the gain or digital scaling equals 1, then the two Volt options will show the same graph.
