Probe Elements
Probe Elements are Display Elements which can assigned to a component or wire directly.
Probes can display only one quantity. However, you can place any probes at each component
you like. See also “Connect Toolbar and Menu” on page 48.
To place a probe, choose CONNECT>PROBE (the cursor changes into the probe symbol) and
click a component or wire on the sheet. The default quantity, defined in the model library, is
displayed, however, you can change it by selecting a new entry on the probe’s shortcut menu.
If you place a probe at a wire, the corresponding across quantity is displayed.
You can change the representation (digital or graphic) with the shortcut command «Show as
graphic» or «Show as digital view». In the digital view you can also change the number
component (real, imaginary, phase, magnitude) with the shortcut menu commands.
Display with Extern View
The «Extern View» command displays the outputs of an Display Element
in a separate window outside the model sheet. This presentation
mode is started with «Extern View» in the shortcut menu. In Extern
View mode you can display both the absolute value of the coordinates
and also the difference between two cursors on both the X and Y axes.
The cursors can be switched On with the shortcut menu (click in the
graphic background with the right mouse button). Two cursors are displayed
in the graphic window. The cursors can be moved by holding
down the left mouse button (for cursor 1) or the right mouse button (for
cursor 2). If you click another data channel name in the diagram or in the legend of the Y-axis,
the cursor for this curve is activated. Close the window to finish the Extern View mode.

The key combination CTRL+C copies the active Extern View Window into the Windows clipboard
as a metafile. Applications such as MS Word or Corel Draw can open the metafile (ED-
IT>PASTE SPECIAL) and edit certain parts of the graphic, such as curves, titles, or axis legends,
as separate objects. This function is helpful if data presentations must be modified.
