*Plot
To request the creation of plots using the timetrace postprocessing.
Refer to Timetrace Postprocessing for further information on this feature.
A single line repeated as often as necessary to indicating the required plots.
CHANNEL=Channel Number [, PLOT=NONE/TIMETRACE/SPECTRUM/BOTH] [, SCALE=Scale] [, TITLE=Figure Title]
Scale defaults to 1. Figure Title defaults to blank.
Input: |
Description |
Channel Number: |
The number of the channel. See Note (a). |
Plot Type: |
The options are None (the default), Timetrace, Spectrum and Both. The last two options are not relevant for regular wave analysis. |
Scale: |
A scale factor to apply to the data. This entry is optional, and defaults to a value of 1. |
Title: |
A descriptive title to be associated with the output. This entry is optional. |
(a)“Channel” in this context refers to the list of timetrace outputs requested before the analysis was performed. The timetrace storage file contains time histories of the variables of interest, or channels, which you reference here in the same order as they were originally requested. Note that a time history of wave elevation is stored automatically as the first channel, so you should bear this in mind when nominating channels of interest. If you are unsure, you can always check the tabular output file, which contains a list of channel numbers and corresponding descriptions.
(b)The timetrace postprocessor creates a tabular summary of the statistics for all of the output channels. Additionally, one or possibly two plot files may be created (depending on the Plot Type specification) for some or all of the output channels.
