Visualize Signals

There are different ways to work with the data in the Visualize view.

The Visualize view include three different types of panels with which you can visualize the drive cycle recording;

• Signal times series panel
• Map panel
• Frame time distribution panel

Users can also annotate the recording using the Signal time series panel, to enhance collaboration in your team.

Signal Time Series Panel

With the Signal time series panel you can get a comprehensive picture of the drive cycle recording by visualizing all signal data in a recording with time series graphs.

Select Signals

To add a signal time series panel, click the button and the signal picker will open.

In the signal picker you will get information about:

• Name of frames and their namespace
• Additional information about the signals (If applicable)
• Cycle time; In what frequency the signal is sent (according to the selected signal database)
• What signals make up the frame
• The unit of the signals
• Min - max value of the signals (according to the selected signal database)
• Length of the signal (bits)
• Frames that is not present in the recording (but part of the selected signal database)

You can use the search bar or scroll the list to find the signals you are looking for. Once you have selected what signals you want to visualize, click “Apply”.

Note! The signals will be visualized in the same graph. The limit is 6 signals in one graph.

Tip! If you want to view many signals but not in a combined view, you can add multiple signal time series panels by clicking the signal time series button again.

View signals

In the signal time series panel you can zoom (by clicking and dragging in the graph) and pan by using the slider below the graph.

You can also use the slider to zoom in and out.

Customize parts of the graph by clicking the settings icon in the upper right corner. From here you can:

• Show / hide the y axis
• Show / hide the x axis
• Show all annotations
• Show your annotations
• Use suggested min / max value (as suggested by the selected signal database)

Map panel

Add a map to your visualization to add context to the recording. To be able to use the map panel you need to have signals in the recording that represent longitude and latitude.

Frame time distribution panel

Look at actual frame time distribution and compare it to expected cycle time of a frame.

Re-process signals

If you have changed what signal database that is used to decode a specific recording file, you will need to re-process the signals in the Visualize view. If there are changes made and you need to re-process you will be notified of it in the UI. Click the "process data again" button to re-process.

Share visualizations

Share your chosen panels by using the Share button above the panels and copy the url.

Only users with access to the project will be able to access the shared view.

Tip! Link to specific tickets in your preferred ticketing tool by adding an url in an annotation comment. Similarly, use the share button to copy an url to the annotated recording and add it in the corresponding ticket, to track and discuss issues efficiently.
