Moving channels "on the fly" in REPORT

Hi,

 

Still on the toppic "Making Diadem more user friendly", Diadem is really limitated when it goes on X offsets. Somebody who wants in a report to superimpose two curves who do not begin at the same X value have to calcute the offset and set up 2 time chanells to get the whished result. Being able to move the curves yith the öouse or have a dedicated function in report could be helpful.

 

The easiest (to use and, I suppose, to develop) would be something alike to the "offset korrektur"/"offest correction" but applied for 2 curves. One can either chose a minimal, a maximal or both on the 2 curves and make those 2 to 4 points superimpose. With the 4 points choice, one can imagine that the curves will auto-rescale.

Hi Naity,

 

It certainly would be nice to be able to interactively drag curves left and right in VIEW, causing their X values to update automatically.  If you happen to be plotting waveform channels, you can do something similar by manually changing the "Waveform x-offset" properties of the two channels to be the same thing.  Otherwise I'd recommend using the "Scale" or "Offset Correction" functions in the ANALYSIS "Basic Mathematics" palette to change the starting value of the X channel you're graphing-- you can send the scaled results to the same input channel to overwrite the values in place.

 

We'll keep these ideas in mind,
