Loading data sources

There are 2 main means to load your data source:

  1. Use menu Data/Load data source Load data source gif

  2. Use drag and drop Load data source gif

During loading usually the dialog with available data source is shown. In this dialog it is possible to delete a data source, set a particular style for the plots from this data source, set some filters for the data, etc.

Creating simple plots

To create a new plot use the menu item Plot/New plot or the button on the top left side of the main window.

After that a menu shown where you can choose data you would like to draw. To choose a parameter just click on it.

Create simple graph gif

By default all parameters will be considered by jag as functions of some independent argument (usually it is time or something like that). If you don’t want to draw function parameter1 = f(argument) but want to draw function parameter1 = f(parameter2) use the left button of the mouser to choose parameter1 and the right button to choose parameter2 as an argument.

Plot layouts

Layout control is usually done by drag and drop.

Modes

Jag main window can be in several modes (switch from one mode to another is usually achieved by using buttons in the toolbar):

  1. Normal mode In this mode you can move graphs from one axis to another

  2. Measuring mode In this mode you can explore data values. Current values of all graphs are shown at the bottom of the main window. If you move mouse with the left button pressed it is possible to measure distance between 2 particular points. Measuring mode gif

  3. Level drawing mode In this mode it possible to mark some events with vertical line (left button click) and levels with horizontal line (right button click).

  4. Remark drawing mode

  5. Zoom x mode

  6. Zoom y mode

  7. Zoom xy mode

  8. Motion mode

  9. Fast secondary processing mode

Secondary processing

You can calculate basic mathematical functions based on the graphs currently presented on the plot.

Secondary processing gif

In secondary processing dialog each graph is aliased as g1, g2, … gn. So, for example, to get the sum of the first and the third graphs put g1 + g3 to the function editing widget at the bottom of the secondary processing dialog.

At the moment a lot of base mathematical functions along with some signal processing functions are available.
