Defining Advanced Sweep Operation Outputs

Advanced sweep operation outputs compare the outputs of steps affected by a sweep operation instead of comparing one step output and one sweepable parameter. Complete the following steps to define advanced sweep operation outputs.

1. Configure the Sweep step using the Sweep Configuration page of the Step Setup tab for the step. To define a sweep operation output, you must specify at least one parameter in the Sweepable parameters field.
2. Switch to the Sweep Output page of the Step Setup tab for the Sweep step.
3. Click the Add button to display the Edit Sweep Output dialog box.
4. Place a checkmark in the Advanced checkbox. The Output (Y-Axis) and Input X-Axis (Advanced) fields display outputs of steps in the sweep operation.

Note  The Input X-Axis (Advanced) field displays scalar outputs only. You cannot define a sweep operation output that compares two waveforms.

5. Select an output from the Output (Y-Axis) field. When you graph the sweep operation output, this value appears on the Y-axis of the graph.
6. Select an output from the Input X-Axis (Advanced) field. When you graph the sweep operation output, this value appears on the X-axis of the graph.
7. Click the OK button. The sweep operation output appears as an output of the Sweep step in the Project View.
8. Drag the sweep operation output to the Data View tab to plot the output on a graph. If the output is a group of data, you can plot an element of the group or the entire group.
