Chapter 13 Analyzing waveforms
348
• To add traces before a currently displayed trace
name, select the trace name and then choose Paste
from the Edit menu.
Here are some considerations when copying or moving
trace names and expressions into a different Probe
window:
• If the new Probe window is reading the same
waveform data file, the copied or moved trace names
and expressions display traces that are identical to the
original selection set.
• If the new Probe window is reading a different
waveform data file, the copied or moved names and
expressions display different traces generated from
the new data.
For example, suppose two waveform data files,
MYSIM.DAT and YOURSIM.DAT each contain a V(2)
waveform. Suppose also that two Probe windows are
currently displayed where window A is loaded with
MYSIM.DAT, and window B is loaded with
YOURSIM.DAT.
When V(2) is copied from window A to window B, the
trace looks different because it is determined by data
from YOURSIM.DAT instead of MYSIM.DAT.
Copying and moving labels
Labels can be selected and moved or copied, either within
the same Probe window or to another Probe window.
To copy labels
1 Select one or more (V+click) labels, or select multiple
labels by drawing a selection rectangle. Selected labels
are highlighted.
2 From the Edit menu, choose Copy or Cut to save the
labels to the clipboard.
Cut removes labels from the Probe window.
