The Data tab plots the time-series data recorded for an experiment.

Data visualization

Choosing what to plot

The left sidebar lets you select the data to show:

  • a list of the experiment's devices, and
  • a list of the available traces (the individual measured variables).

Plot options

The right sidebar (Plot Options) controls the appearance of the plot:

Option What it does
Show errors Overlay error bars/ranges on the data.
Show points Draw the individual data points in addition to the lines.
Time axis Plot against absolute date & time or elapsed duration.
Color Color the traces by device or by label.
Legend Where to place the legend (or hide it).
Font Size The base font size of the plot.

Plot controls

Above the plot are the data and navigation controls:

Control What it does
Fetch data Retrieve the most recent data from the database.
Reset cache Clear the local data cache (only needed if the experiment configuration changed).
Show all Zoom out to show all of the data.
Move back / forward Pan the time axis.
Revert Go back to the previous view (double clicking the plot has the same effect).
(Re)plot Redraw the plot with the current selection and options.
Download plot Save the current plot as an image.
Download data Export the plotted data.

You can also drag horizontally across the plot to zoom into a time window, and use the card's full-screen button to expand the plot to the whole window.
