cannot be sorted or moved. They remain in their initial order with the first level item that
contains them.
You can also right-click to get the contextual menu, which provides access to the commands
listed in Table 65 .
Value column
The Value column displays the values of the plotted items at the selected Marker. You can
place markers to display the plotted values at any time interval in the plot.
The main marker (blue) and any markers that you create, can be selected in the Value
column drop-down menu. To access this menu, click on the heading of the Value column.
The name and color of the selected marker are shown in the header.
The value column drop-down menu also provides commands for adding markers, removing
markers and viewing/changing marker properties (See Table 67 on page 215).
In some cases, the plotter does not have information about the values for an item. In this
case, the plot color for the item is darkened and the value is shown as N/A (Figure 157). For
example, this occurs when the start point (B) for plotting an imported or copied item is after
the start of the simulation (A). In this case, the plotter has no information about the values
prior to the time interval B. As a result, the plot color is darker and N/A appears in the Value
column for the value of the items before time interval B.
