Add 2D or Circuit Trace Characteristics

Add or clear additional characteristics to a selected trace. To add additional characteristics to a selected trace:

1. Select a trace in a report plot or legend.
2. Click Report 2D > Trace Characteristics, or right-click the selected trace to open the shortcut menu.
3. Select Trace Characteristics > Add

This displays the Add Trace Characteristics window.

4. Select the Category and an associated Function to apply. The available categories depend on the plot, and Category enables the display of associated functions.
   

   Category	Functions for the Category
   Math	max, min, pk2pk, rms, avg, integ, integabs, avgabs, rmsAC, ripple, pkavg, XatYMin, XatYMax, XatYVal, cmplx()
   PulseWidth	pulsefall9010, pulsefront9010, pulsefront3090, pulsemax, pulsemaxtime, pulsemin, pulsemintime, pulsetail50, pulsewidth5050, pw_plus, pw_plus_max, pw_plus_min, pw_plus_avg, pw_plus_rms, pw_minus_max, pw_minus_min, pw_minus_avg, pw_minus_rms
   Overshoot, Undershoot	overshoot, undershoot.
   TR & DC	crestfactor, formfactor, distortion, fundamentalmag, delaytime, risetime, deadtime, settlingtime,
   Error	iae, ise, itae, itse
   Period	per, pmax, pmin, prms
   Radiation	xdb10bandwidth, xdb20bandwidth, lSidelobeX, lSidelobeY, rSidelobeX, rSidelobeY

   
   

Given a selected Function, and Category, the Add Trace window displays a field that explains the Purpose of the function. For a full list of functions and their definitions, see Selecting a Function.

5. Some categories and functions call for you to specify one or two additional values in a table. Save these values by clicking Default.
6. Click Add to add the specified characteristics to the Trace.

To remove existing trace characteristics:

1. Select a trace in a report plot or legend.
2. Click Report 2D > Trace Characteristics, or right-click the selected trace to open the shortcut menu.
3. Select Trace Characteristics > Clear All

Trace characteristics are clear on the selected trace.
