Splitting Charts

The KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software enables enhanced data analysis using the Split feature, where you may spread a single chart into multiple charts to view the plotted data minutely.

At a given time, you may select either a measurement field only or a property field only to split the plotted charts.

The KS6800A software is capable of splitting all types of charts. You may select any field for splitting charts, which you may have even selected as X-axis to plot Scatter and Summary Line charts.

The Split feature uses buckets to rearrange the plotted data. For more information on defining buckets, see Defining Buckets for Split.

To access the Split feature:

  1. Add one or more fields as charts within a dataset. See Plotting Data as Charts.
After one or more charts have been plotted, the Split charts by field button in the Actions area is enabled whenever you select a field.
  1. To split one or more charts, proceed with one of the options:
  1. Use the Split charts by field button to define buckets for the selected field.
  2. Click Splits on the right pane to choose the previously selected or another field.

If you click Splits on the right pane, the Creating Splits pane appears.
  1. Click the Pick a field button.

The Fields pane is displayed again.
  1. You may choose the already highlighted field or select another field to use its values to perform split.

While you can split all chart types, you can perform an in-chart split for Box and Whisker, Scatter and Summary Line charts only. For the latter two chart types, the KS6800A software uses colors for the in-chart split to easily view the data. You can perform in-chart split by selecting only one chart at a time.
  1. To perform in-chart splits, convert one or more plotted charts to either Box and Whisker, Scatter or Summary Line charts. See:
  1. Select a chart (Box and Whisker, Scatter or Summary Line) which you wish to split.
Note that the selected chart has a blue outline (the sepal_length box and whisker chart, in this example) and the Split values by field within selected chart is enabled in the Actions area of the Fields pane.

After you click either Split charts by field or Split values by field within selected chart in the Actions area of the Fields pane, the Split pane appears. The following images show the Split pane for keysight_row and species fields that have int32 and string data types, respectively.

  1. Irrespective of whether you wish to split all plotted charts or only a selected chart, you must define buckets for split on the Splits pane.
  2. After you define buckets, you can:
