After completing this topic, you can align multiple Runs with a common reference point to compare signals across Runs on a shared timeline.

​
Before you begin

  • You have at least two Runs plotted in the same Panel in Explore.

​
How Run alignment works

Runs rarely start at the same absolute time, so plotting them together without alignment results in signals that appear offset. Alignment solves this by defining a shared T-0 reference point for each Run, converting absolute timestamps to relative time so signals line up for direct comparison. You can align Runs to a Run start, Run end, a specific timestamp, or an Annotation. For supported alignment methods, see Time alignment.

​
Create a relative time alignment

  1. In an Explore Panel with at least two Runs plotted, click Settings.
  2. Open the Time-alignment tab.
  3. In the Alignment list, select Create relative alignment.
  4. In the Name box, enter a name for the alignment.
  5. In the Default alignment method list, select a method.
  6. Optional: Configure how the alignment is applied:
    • To apply the alignment method to all Runs, click Apply default to all.
    • To configure an individual Run, select a method from the Alignment method list in the Run’s tile under Alignment points.
  7. Optional: Configure additional settings if you selected Timestamp or Annotation as the method.
