Using the Transition List

To display an enlarged view of transitions, click the Zoom View tab, and move the mouse over section of the Signal you wish to examine. The section of the Signal displayed in the Zoom View is indicated in the TestCase by a green box. To lock the Zoom View display onto that selection, click in the Signal plot area. To make a different selection, clear the Lock View checkbox.

You can drag the edges of the Selected Transition pane to change its size. (You may need to increase the size to see the Zoom View tab.) Changes that you make to the scale of the Zoom View do not affect the display of the TestCase. However, you can drag the plot line to change the specified values of the Signal.

By default, the zoom display time scale is 10 times the TestCase scale. You can use the icons in the Zoom View tab to adjust the zoom and scale of the display, which also adjusts the size of the green box.

The Zoom Time icons  (Zoom to Default, Zoom In, and Zoom Out) adjust the time scale (X-axis) of the Zoom View tab and the horizontal size of the green box.

The Zoom Value icons  (Y-Axis Zoom In, Y-Axis Zoom Out, Y-Axis Auto Scale, and Y-Axis Default Scale) adjust the value scale (Y-axis) of the Zoom View tab and the vertical size of the green box.

When you select a Signal, the Transition List locks on that Signal. Only transitions for that Signal are listed regardless of the mouse position. To lock on another Signal, select it in the TestCase. To unlock, uncheck the Lock Signal checkbox. When unlocked, the Transition List displays data from any Signal the mouse hovers over.

The ID column is displayed only when the ID box is checked. The values are generated by MxVDev and cannot be changed directly.

All transition times are available for edit in the Specified Transition List. Most transition values can be modified there as well. Signals such as Message require their values to be modified in the detail pane in the lower portion of the panel.

•All edits to cell data are indicated by a yellow background. Changes are not finalized until you "accept" them, this includes edits made in the detail pane.

•For all list data entries, press the Enter key to accept all new changes. In the case of Message values, you may press Enter or use the Apply button found in the detail pane.

•All edits not accepted are lost if the Transition List loads in new data (for example, when you choose to view another signal's Transitions).

•If the Signal's units are set to Hex, you can enter hexadecimal values. Do not enter the 0x prefix.

•You can also right-click to open the context menu. Select Edit Transition to open a dialog box. Use the dialog to edit the transition time or value. Click to use constants.

Note: If you cannot enter transition data, it could be because the signal is not selected. You can recognize this problem because no signal name is displayed in the top left corner of the Transition List form.

No Selected Signal

You can use the bottom row the list or in the case of Messages you may use the Add button in the detail pane.

To insert a transition, right-click on a row and choose Insert Transition from the context menu.

To delete transitions, select any/all rows and press the Delete key. You can also right-click on a row and choose Delete transition from the Context Menu.

You can select a set of transitions to create a Range and then use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to copy or move the transitions to another time on the Signal. You can paste the Range into either the Transition List or the plot area of the Signal in the TestCase. You cannot cut or copy a single transition.

A Range selected in the Transition List

Check the Delta Time checkbox to display this additional data column. Using this column you can change the delta time which "shifts" all transition times after the transition you edited. The following is an example:
