Aligning Signals Using the Interactive Alignment Step
Complete the following steps to align two time-domain signals on a graph using the Interactive Alignment step.
- Add the Interactive Alignment step to the Project View. The step selects the two most recent signals in the project as inputs, and displays them on the Input Signals graph in the Configuration View.
Note The Interactive Alignment step can operate only on time-domain waveform signals. - In the Configuration View, configure the comparison using one of the following methods:
- Configure the comparison manually. In the Input Signals graph, select the test signal, plotted in red, and drag it to the position you want in the graph for the comparison. You can expand the test plot manually in both directions by holding the <Alt> key while you drag the plot. The step computes the x-offset, y-offset, x-gain, and y-gain as you move the plot.
- Configure the comparison based on a built-in algorithm. Select one of the auto modes from the Mode pull-down menu.
- Switch to the Data View and drag the comparison signal output to a view to see the results of the comparison.
