1 | Chart Type:
Specify the type of chart to create. The following options are available:
| ||||||||||||
2 | Num Levels: Specify the number of contours or levels that should be shown on the plot. If you set the value to Auto, the system will pick an appropriate number of levels. You can pick up to 20 levels for this plot. | ||||||||||||
3 | Colors: Specify the colors to use for the contours. The system will pick the default colors if you set the value as Auto. Otherwise, it will use the color index you specify. | ||||||||||||
4 | Legend:
Specify if you want to display the legend on the chart. The available options are:
| ||||||||||||
5 | Help Button: Click on this button to open the help file for this topic. | ||||||||||||
6 | Cancel Button: Click on this button to discard any changes and close the dialog box. | ||||||||||||
7 | OK Button: If possible, click this button to save any changes and compute the analysis outputs. |
1 | Variable Names: Specify the names of the X, Y, and Z variables. Make sure you have no special characters or spaces in the name. The default names for these variables are X, Y, and Z. |
2 | X Values: Specify the minimum, increment, and maximum values for the X-axis. Use a reasonable number to get a good resolution for the contour plot while keeping the total number of iterations low. The default value is ten intervals between the minimum and maximum values. |
3 | Y Values: Specify the minimum, increment, and maximum values for the Y axis. Use a reasonable number to get a good resolution for the contour plot while keeping the total number of iterations low. The default value is ten intervals between the minimum and maximum values. |
4 | Z Equation: Specify the equation that relates the Z variable to the X and Y variables. This equation will generate the data points for the contour plot. Use valid mathematical equations such as sin(X) + Y^2. |
1 | Title: The system will automatically pick a title for your chart. However, if you want to override that with your title, you can specify a title for your chart here. Note that this input is optional. |
2 | Sub Title: The system will automatically pick a subtitle for your chart. However, if you want to override that with your subtitle, specify a subtitle for your chart here. Note that this input is optional. |
3 | X Label: The system will automatically pick a label for the x-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your label for the x-axis, you can specify a different label here. Note that this input is optional. |
4 | Y Label: The system will automatically pick a label for the y-axis. However, if you would like to override that with your label for the y-axis, you can specify a different label here. Note that this input is optional. |
1 | Item: The left-hand side shows the major tabs and the items checked within each section |
2 | Status: The right-hand side shows the status of the checks. |
3 | Overall Status: The overall status of all the checks for the given analysis is shown here. The overall status check shows a green thumps-up sign if everything is okay and a red thumps-down sign if any checks have not passed. Note that you cannot proceed with generating analysis results for some analyses if the overall status is not okay. |
> | Notes: The text output of the analysis is sent to the notes section. This section contains the minimum, number of increments, and maximum X and Y values. It also specifies the formula to calculate the Z values (if specified). The Analysis Results section contains the name of the Z variable and the minimum, maximum, and average values of the Z values. |
> | Graphs: The graphs section contains the contour and surface plot of the given data set. You can use the Excel functionality to rotate the graph as required. |
1 | Item: The left-hand side shows the major tabs and the items checked within each section |
2 | Status: The right-hand side shows the status of the checks. |
3 | Overall Status: Shows the overall status of all the checks performed. If all the checked items are okay, the status image in the header will show a green checkmark. If any checks fail, the header status image will show a red cross mark. |
