Data Explorer

The Data Explorer shows the working directory as a file tree and opens any text file in a Log viewer or a Plot viewer.

Browse

• The Files card lists the working directory four folders deep, with file sizes. + and − expand and collapse every folder. Refresh lists again. Type in Filter files… to narrow the list.
• .mod files carry a FIELD tag. Clicking one opens it in the Field Viewer.
• Every row has a download button.
• Drag the right edge of the Files card to make it wider. Double-click the edge to reset it.

Plot viewer

A file made mostly of numeric columns (for example Reflection.out, SParameter.out, an acdtool field-along-a-line file) opens in the Plot viewer and is plotted at once: column 1 against column 2.

1. Choose the X and Y columns and press Plot.
2. To compare curves, tick Hold on and plot again, from the same file or another one. Each curve becomes a series.
3. Edit the Title, X label and Y label. Tick Log X or Log Y for logarithmic axes.
4. Each series row sets visibility, colour, symbol, line style and legend name. × removes it. Clear all removes every series.
5. Export with PNG or CSV.

Held series keep their data when you open another file, so curves from different runs can be compared on one plot.
