b) Then enter:
Time Translation (in ns) specifying the point in the simulation plot where the
plotter will start drawing the specified item. Default is zero. Entering a value less
than zero shifts the start point for the specified item to the left of the start of the
simulation (time=0). Entering a value a value greater than zero shifts the start
point to the right of the start of the simulation (time=0).
and/or the Time Scale. The default value is 1: no re-scaling of the original
expression. Entering a value less that 1 compresses the time scale so that the
item’s value changes occur more rapidly. Entering a value greater than 1 extends
the time scale so that the item’s value changes occur more slowly.
