Data Sheet

Proteus VSM
225
We will Quick Add our probes and the generator to the graph. Either tag the probes and
generators individually, or, more quickly, drag a tag box around the entire circuit - the Quick Add
feature will ignore all tagged objects other than probes and generators. Select the Add Trace
option from the Graph menu and answer Yes to the prompt. The traces will appear on the graph
(because there is only one graph, and it was the last used, it is deemed to be the current
graph). At the moment, the traces consist of a name (on the left of the axis), and an empty data
area (the main body of the graph). If the traces do not appear on the graph, then it is probably
too small for Proteus to draw them in. Resize the graph, by tagging it and dragging a corner, to
make it sufficiently big.
As it happens, our traces (having been placed in alphabetical order) have appeared in a
reasonable order. We can however, shuffle the traces about. To do this, ensure the graph is not
tagged, and click left over the name of a trace you want to move or edit. The trace is highlighted
to show that it is tagged. You can now use the left mouse button to drag the trace up or down or
to edit the trace (by clicking left without moving the mouse) and the right button to delete the
trace (i.e. remove it from the graph). To untag all traces, click the left mouse button anywhere
over the graph, but not over a trace label (this would tag or delete the trace).
