Sweeping a Variable in a Report in RMxprt

In RMxprt, a swept variable is an intrinsic, project, or design variable that typically has more than one value. From the Traces dialog box, you can plot any calculated or derived quantity against one or more of the swept variable's values.

When you click the Sweeps tab in the Traces dialog box, the first sweep variable listed is the "primary sweep". If you are creating a 3D report, the second sweep variable listed is the "secondary sweep". Any additional sweep variables are represented as additional curves on the graph.

To modify which variable is the primary sweep variable, click the Name box for the primary sweep variable, and then click the variable name you want to be the primary sweep variable.

To modify the secondary sweep variable or any additional sweep variable, follow the same procedure.

To modify the values that will be plotted for a variable:

  1. Click a variable in the table.

    2. To the right, all of the possible values for the selected variable are listed.

  2. Select All Values.

    3. All of the selected variable's values are plotted.

    Alternatively, clear All Values and select the specific values to plot against the selected quantity.
