Trace Descriptors

The next figure explains the meanings of the descriptors for each trace.

Multiple Inputs and Outputs

If you invoke two or more instrument parameter functions or waveform functions that call Excel, you will find that
they all refer to the same spreadsheet by default. Thus, your spreadsheet can use the data from several
waveforms, and you can derive many different combinations of output parameters and waveforms, including
some of each, from your spreadsheet. You only have to be careful about the positioning of your cell ranges within
the sheet so that no conflicts occur.

Because filling cells in the spreadsheet is a relatively slow process, all unwanted sources (inputs) should be left
disabled (unchecked). For example, if you want one waveform and two parameters derived from the data of three
waveforms, you can have one function with both sources enabled, one with one source enabled, and one with no
sources enabled. The alternative is to use one input in each function.
