Graph Report

The Graph report displays any combination of system parameters versus input power or system temperature. This report is especially useful when a project contains one or more AGC loops. When AGC loops are present most system parameters vary with input power because the loop(s) adjusts its gain in an attempt to keep the power at the detector(s) constant. The graph below shows how the system gain and noise figure changes with input power because of the AGC loop.

Graph Customization

The currently selected graph can be customized by right mouse clicking on the graph and selecting one of the menu items shown below:

 

Graph Parameters

The Graph Parameters dialog box associated with the report provides the means for graph customization.

View Graph Data

Displays a numerical table of data representing the graphed parameters. The data can be printed or copied to the clipboard for importation into other programs.

Rescale Graph

Causes the graph boundaries to exactly match the trace(s) extents. 

AutoScale Graphs

Causes the graph boundaries to be readjusted to match the trace(s) extents after each solution.

Toolbar Displays a graph toolbar allowing direct manipulation of the graph.
Color Allows for color customization of the graph item selected with the right mouse button.

Properties...

Displays a dialog box allowing full customization of the graph.
