Change order of plotted channels?

Post by Username » Wed 26. Aug 2015, 15:02

Is it possible in the plotter to change the order of channels in the plot window? I have a trace with four channels colored as follows: aqua, blue, fuschia, and yellow (see attachment). My problem is that I cannot change the order of channels from back to front. Notice the blue channel has many values that cover a large portion of the plot. Two channels, the aqua, and the fuschia are shown in front of the blue channel. The yellow colored channel is painted on screen "behind" the darker blue plot.

I don't see any way to change the order of plot channels in the plot properties or settings. Is this possible? I would like to see something like being able to select a channel, and a "bring to front" or "send to back" option, similar to Microsoft Word functionality.

I also tried to re-import from the trace, but the "layer" order of the channels seems to be arbitrary, and not able to be changed.

Hello,

yes, you can control in which order the channels are painted. This is not done through the order of the channels itself, but by the value of the Channel->General->Layer property. The default layer of each channel is 100. Change the layer to a higher value and the channel will appear in front of others.
