Variable Value Scope
About Variable Value Scopes
The Variable Value Scope is a time-based chart that shows you the value of one or more selected variables
during runtime. The Variable Value Scope can be used for a limited time or an automatically adjusted time
period. To set the period of time, select the Trace Time check box. To use the scope for an automatically
adjusted period of time, clear the Trace Time check box. This mode is useful for tests that run for an
extended length of time, such as during a K1C test to display the da/dN curve. During the time data is
displayed, intermediate data points are removed to prevent memory issues. The limit is 2000 data points.
