- Start DAWN and open the Trace Perspective (Window Menu, Open Perspective, Other, Trace)
- Open the data you wish to process (either using the File Menu, Open File... or double clicking from the Project Explorer and File Navigator views, or dragging and dropping a file from your operating system file navigator into the Traces View)
- If no data is automatically plotted, the screen will look something like this:
- The Datasets view can be used to select the data for the x and y axes (if you have loaded mutliple files, the same x and y can be set by selecting multiple files in the traces view.
- To make data plot automatically on opening you need to set default dataset names
- In the View menu of the Traces view (small white arrow next to view minimise and maximise icons)
- Select Configure Default Dataset Names
- In the Dialog that appears, enter the X and Y dataset names as shown in the Datasets View
- From now on, when files containing these datasets are opened in the Trace perspective, these datasets will be selected for plotting.
- Multiple files can be checked/unchecked for plotting by selecting the files in the Traces View, right-clicking and from the menu select Check Selected/Uncheck Selected
