Simulation Data from
Multiple Files
You can load simulation data from multiple files into the same
Probe plot in two ways:
• By setting up Probe for automatic loading of checkpoint and
working schematic data files.
• By appending data files.
When more than one data file is loaded, you can add traces using
all loaded data, data from only one file, or individual data
sections from one or more files.

feature in Schematics to create
checkpoint schematics, which
are copies of your workin

(or
current development) schematic
at any point of development up to
the present. Checkpoint
schematics allow you to create
an electronic record of desi

development and to perform
what-if analyses on your ori

schematic. See the online Help
in Schematics for more
