Creating a Data Table or Numeric Display
A data table is a grid of rows and columns that displays, in numeric form, selected quantities against a swept variable or other quantities.
- Select Twin Builder > Results > Create Standard Report > Data Table.
The Report
dialog box appears.
- Similarly, if you drew a data table directly on a schematic using Draw > Report > DataTable or Draw > Report > Numeric Display, double-click the data table or numeric display on the schematic to open the Report dialog box.
- In the Context section, make selections
from the following field or fields, depending on the design and solution
type.
- Solution – Lists the available solutions, whether sweeps or adaptive passes.
- Domain – Whether this field appears, and the domains listed depend on the solution type and the <type> selected. The domain can be Sweep, Spectral, or Time.
When you select Spectral, additional fields display in which you can make settings for plotting spectral domain data.
- Optimetrics setup – All defined Optimetrics analysis setups.
- Select Quantities – Click to open the Select Quantities dialog box in which you can select additional quantities for plotting.
- Show last value only – This check box is cleared by default for plot types in general. It is selected by default if a transposed data table has been added to the sheet using Draw > Report > Numeric Display.
- On the Trace
tab, select the quantity you are interested in and its associated function:
- Category – Select the type of information to plot. The category selected provides the default name for the plot.
- Quantity – Select the values to plot. Ctrl-click to make multiple selections.
- Function – Optionally, select the mathematical function to apply to the quantity.
- The Y field displays the currently
specified quantity and function. You can edit this field directly.
Note:
The text color shows whether the expression is valid (blue for valid expressions, red for invalid).
- Range Function – Click to open the Set Range Function dialog box. This applies currently specified quantity and function.
- On the Primary Sweep line, select the sweep variable from the drop-down list, and specify All values or select values.
- For the X field, either select the Default check box to use the default x quantity, or clear it to choose another quantity in the Select X Component dialog box.
- Click New Report.
This creates a new report in the Project tree, displays the report with the defined traces, and enables Add Traceon the Report dialog box. The default name is based on the report category you selected, for example, S Parameter Plot n or Output Variables Plot n. You can edit the plot names in the Project tree and the plot header text in the report synchronizes.
The Y quantity is listed at each variable value or additional quantity value you specified. The data table is under Results in the Project tree, and the defined traces are under the data table. When you select the traces or plots, their properties display in the Properties dialog box. You can edit these properties to modify the plot.
- You can add other traces to the plot by following the procedure above, using Add Trace rather than New Report.
