Time Series Graphs
Overview
Time Series Graphs display scalar (0Dts) signals plotted against time. Multiple signals can be plotted on the same graph for comparison.
Adding Signals to a Graph
Drag a 0Dts signal from the Data tab and drop it onto an empty canvas area. Nexus detects the signal type and automatically creates a Time Series Graph panel.
To overlay additional signals, drag another 0Dts signal onto the same panel. Each signal is drawn as a separate trace with its own colour from the palette.
You can display many traces on a single graph. The first eight traces receive distinct colours from the palette; additional traces may reuse colours.
Multi-Signal Legend
When a graph contains more than one signal, a legend appears above the chart, listing each active signal (and, in some cases, a remove button). Use the Series visibility controls in the Chart Settings sidebar to show or hide individual traces.
Pan and Zoom
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + scroll wheel | Zoom in / out (centred on cursor) |
| Click + drag | Zoom into a selected region (drag-zoom along the time axis) |
| Shift + drag | Pan the chart |
| Zoom In / Zoom Out buttons | Step zoom from panel header |
| Maximize button | Reset zoom to show full data range |
Axis Formatting
- X-axis (Time): Displayed as
HH:MM:SSwith adaptive precision - sub-second ticks appear automatically when zoomed in. - Y-axis: One axis is created per unit and each Y-axis is labeled with the unit only (e.g. °C, V). Individual signal names appear in the legend.
When multiple signals share the same unit, they are plotted on the same Y-axis. Signals with different units get independent Y-axes.
Timeline Cursor
A vertical line on the graph indicates the current timeline position. This cursor moves in sync with the main timeline and with all other panels - scrubbing the timeline updates the cursor in every open Time Series Graph.
Chart Settings
Select a Time Series Graph panel to reveal its settings in the right sidebar:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Time range | Limits the time window displayed in the graph. |
| Show timeline cursor | Toggles display of the vertical cursor that tracks the global timeline position. |
