with Probe while in monitor mode
All of the Probe functionality is available when in monitor
mode. However, functions that change the x-axis domain (set a
new x-axis variable) pause monitoring and place the window in
manual mode until the x-axis is reverted to its original domain.
The following table describes how to enable the functions that
change the x-axis domain:

Schematic Markers to Add
Traces
You can place markers on a schematic to identify the points
where you want to see the waveform results displayed in Probe.
Markers can be placed:
• Before simulation to limit results written to the Probe data
file and automatically display those traces in Probe.
