2.2.1 Interface

The MPLAB Data Visualizer interface is comprised of three areas:

1. In the center are tabbed windows for data display. The Time Plot is the window used most.

   A tab may be dragged to move the window. Double clicking on a tag will fill the center area with the window; double clicking again will restore the window to its previous size.

2. On the left are panes used to identify and set up data that may be displayed. The Connections tab identifies connected data sources and provides options for display. The Variable Steamers tab displays controls to set up variable values for display. The Dashboard Widgets tab can be used with the center Dashboard tab to control and display parameters from application firmware.

   A tab may be dragged to move the pane. Clicking on a tab will collapse/expand the pane.

3. On the right are panes to format the data for display. Options available depend on the data being displayed.
