Filtering Plotted Data

In the KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software, filtering of charts provides a robust platform for data analysis.

If some of the plotted data is deleted, as described in Deleting Selected Data on Charts, it cannot be recovered unless one either uploads or imports that part of the plotted data again. Also, if some of the plotted data is hidden, as described in Hiding Selected Data on Charts, it simply creates a void instead of rescaling the chart.

Therefore, the FILTER feature provides an added advantage of retaining the selected data yet rescaling the charts, thereby making more room for data analysis.

To access the filtering 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 Create filter using field button in the Actions area is enabled whenever you select a field.
  1. To define filter, proceed with one of the options:
  1. Use the Create filter using field button to define custom filters with the selected field. For more information, see Defining Custom Filters.
  2. Click Filters on the right pane to choose the previously selected or another field.

If you click Filters on the right pane, the Creating Filters pane appears.
  1. Apply filter in one of the following ways:
  1. Create a custom filter using a plotted field or any other field. For more information, see Defining Custom Filters.

  1. Use Box Select function to select a range of data on a chart to apply filter. See Selecting Data on Charts.
If you choose to proceed with option b, the options available for filtering are:
