Chart
The plot is where numeric, bit field, enum, and string channels will appear when selected.
Run Toolbar
The toolbar across the top is the run toolbar. It will only appear when a run is selected from Home. The plot time range can only be as early as the run's start time and as late as its end time.
Clicking the x icon will exit the run, allowing you to zoom and pan beyond its start and end times. Clicking the four corners icon will zoom out to the run's start and end times.
Plot Toolbar
This is the toolbar across the top of the plot.
-
Live: Clicking this button will set the end time to now and refresh it every second, pulling new data and displaying it.
-
Time range: This is the plot's time range. It will automatically be updated as you zoom and pan. You can also set these values by clicking on the time range. You can type in a date and time or click the calendar icon to use a date-time picker.
-
Local: This dropdown enables you to select between viewing data in your local time, UTC, or relative to the start of a run if a run is selected. Note that it is impossible to set the time range manually when viewing in relative time.
-
Zoom: This is one of three plot modes. Zoom allows you to click and drag to zoom into an area on the plot. You can also zoom by scrolling in and out or clicking on the magnifying glasses to the right of the three plot modes.
-
Annotate: This is one of three plot modes. Annotate allows you to click and drag to create an annotation for a time range. You can also bulk edit annotations if you select multiple annotations using the bulk edit toolbar. See Annotations for more details.
-
Pan: This is one of three plot modes. Pan allows you to pan the plot left and right. When a run is selected, you can only pan to the start or end.
-
Magnifying glasses: These icons allow you to zoom in and out.
-
Annotation icon: This toggles display all annotations on the plot.
-
Link icon: This creates a share link and copies it to your clipboard. Share links capture the state of Explore for sharing with your colleagues. Share links will never be deleted, and opening a share link will restore the state of Explore as it was when the link was created.
-
Download icon: This exports all of the currently plotted channels to CSV in full fidelity.
-
Line icon: This toggles viewing points on the plot.
Plot
The plot is where numeric data type, bit field, and enum channels are plotted. Annotations will also appear in the plot. Enums are plotted by their numeric value. Each element in a bit field is plotted separately.
Channels are plotted on the first left axis, L1, by default but can be plotted on an arbitrary number of left and right axes, as selected in the Legend. The y-axis range will automatically adjust to the range of the data this is plotted.
The red bar in the middle of the plot above is a flagged annotation. Clicking on the annotation will open it in the annotation sidebar.
Tooltip
When hovering over a point in the plot, its value and the current timestamp will appear in the tooltip. The enum's string value will appear if the point is an enum.
Logs
String values are plotted in the log viewer.
You can filter for specific logs using multi-word, case-matching, and regular expressions. A vertical line will appear in the plot when hovering over a logline at the timestamp of the log line.
