Data Query

Figure 1.

The Cut list lists the vertical cutting surfaces contained in the plot, or new queries that are added to the current plot. The currently selected vertical cutting surface is displayed in the Cut text field. Select or deselect the check box to activate the vertical cutting surface displayed in the Cut text field.

All

Selects every query in the list

None

Deselects all highlighted queries in the list.

Flip

Exchanges the currently selected queries for the unselected queries in the list.

Delete

Deletes a section query.

Add

Adds a new section query.

Add n...

Adds a specific number of queries.

Select the type of query that you want to create.

Order

Passes a query surface through an order.

Input vector

XY vector which contains the driving or input vector for the waterfall plot.

Time vector

XY vector which defines the time values used to create the waterfall plot.

Order

Select the order that you want to query. You can enter the values manually or left-click on an order in the waterfall plot.

Input vector is in RPM

Select this option to scale the response curve by 60 to use RPS.

Apply

Click Apply to create/update the query surface.

Equation

A math equation defining a curve on an XY plane.

X

Math expression on the XY plane, along the X axis.

Y

Math expression on the XY plane along the Y axis.

Point List

Create a curve on the XY plane by picking the X, Y, and Z points.

X, Y, Z

Click in the X, Y, and Z fields to enter values.

Add Row

Click Add Row to add a row to the table.

Delete Row

Select a row and click Delete Row to delete the row from the table.

Clear Table

Clear the contents of the table.

Move Arrows

Use the up and down arrows to move between rows.

Layout

The Layout option allows you to specify how the plotted data is arranged on a page.

One plot

Data is arranged on one plot.

One plot per cut

One plot is created for each vertical cutting surface. The Page Layout button is activated when you select this option. Choose a page layout type from the pop-up dialog.

New plot

Curves are plotted in a new plot window.

Create curve

Creates an XY curve of the 3D plot cross section.

Use the two drop-down menus under Create curve to define the independent and dependent vectors for the XY curve. Both menus contain the same options: X, Y, and Z.

X, Y, and Z are the X, Y, and Z values in the 3D plot.

Select an option from the first drop-down menu to define the independent vector, then go to the second drop-down menu and select an option to define the dependent vector. Click Plot Data to create the plot.

Preview

Preview the plot before creating it.

Plot Data

Creates the curves.
