  4. KCG supports two types of plots - live data and saved data read from disk.
  5. To open a plot window select Windows -> New Plot in the Menu.
  6. You will be asked what type of data to open. The choices are: Live Data and Data read from disk.
  7. .. tip::
  8. You can open each of those data types directly as described in the corresponding section below.
  9. Live Data
  10. ---------
  11. If you choose Live Data you can go on with :ref:`openingplotwindows`
  12. To directly open a Live Data Plot press the first toolbar button or press Ctrl+L.

  22. Opening Plot Windows
  23. --------------------
  24. After you chose the data type, you can open multiple plot Windows with different types. To do so, click on the "+"
  25. next to the newly created entry in the left listview. If you open a live plot window, data gets plottet whenever
  26. it is ready (that is when you acquire, when continuous read is enabled or when you perform a single read).
  27. .. note::
  28. When you performed an acquisition and after that you open a live plot window, the last saved file
  29. will be read and plotted in this live plot window
  30. You can choose the plot type as seen in the image below (It is shown for saved data, but analogous for live data):

  32. Heatmap means to plot the data in a 2D plot with color coded values.
  33. FFT means to plot the fourertransformed data in a 2D plot with color coded values.
  34. Trains means to plot the trains that were measured
  35. As of version 0.1.0915 there is an additional plot type: Compare. This means to plot two Heatmaps of different
  36. ADCs to compare those.
  37. Combined means to plot #TODO: was ???
  38. .. note::
  39. If you have opened multiple windows it can be hard to find the correct window. That's where the left
  40. part of the Multi View comes in handy: Simply click on the desired plot and it will be brought to focus.
  41. .. note::
  42. You can close both, the windows and the data source, by right clicking on the corresponding entry in the left
  43. part of the Multi View
