Toolbar options in the Live and Timeline views

Streamline provides easy ways to navigate and modify the Live and Timeline views using the toolbar.

The toolbar controls in the Live and Timeline views are:

Tags

If a special condition applies to the capture, one or more of the following tags appear on the left side of the toolbar:

  • ebs The capture uses event-based sampling.

  • warning One or more warnings has occurred, as indicated by the number.

When you hover over a tag, a tooltip appears, giving more information about what the tag means.

Toggle bookmark markers

bookmark Activates or deactivates the bookmarks. If selected, vertical lines appear across the charts under each of your bookmarks.

Center the display on the cross-section marker

center_display_on_csm Centers the display on the position of the cross-section marker. This control is inactive if the cross-section marker is parked.

Reset Calipers

reset_calipers Sets the calipers so they include all the data in the capture. The calipers are the blue arrow controls at the top of the view. You can use them to limit the statistics in the reports to an area of interest.

Select Annotation log... (Timeline view only)

select_annotation_log Opens the Log view and selects the closest Annotation-generated message to the current position of the cross-section marker. This option is not applicable if you did not include ANNOTATION statements in your code.

Zoom level (Timeline view only)

zoom_in zoom_out Cycles through the levels of zoom. To increase or decrease the unit of time that is used to represent one bin in the Timeline view, use the plus and minus buttons. If you zoom in beyond the sampling frequency, the Timeline view shows interpolated data. Alternatively, use the drop-down list to specify the zoom level.

Zoom level drop-down list
Time index

Shows the time index of the current location of the mouse cursor.

Capture duration

The capture duration in seconds.

Go to beginning (Live view only)

go_to_beginning Moves the scrollbar to the beginning of the charts in the Live view and holds focus there.

Halt scrolling (Live view only)

halt_scrolling Causes the Live view to stop scrolling so that you can focus on the chart data currently in view. The charts of the Live view continue to expand as the capture session continues, but the Live view only moves if you move the horizontal scrollbar.

Go to live position (Live view only)

go_to_live_position Returns the Live view to the default scrolling behavior. The view scrolls with the growing charts and the live streaming data remains in focus.

Switch and manage templates

templates Enables you to do the following:

  • Select a chart configuration template to apply to the current display.

  • Manage saved templates.

  • Create and load templates.

See Create a chart configuration template for more information.

To append the charts in the selected template to the currently displayed charts, rather than replacing them, hold down the Shift key while clicking this button.

Add charts with default settings...

add_default_charts Enables you to add a chart to the Live or Timeline view from the drop-down list. Either select one of the charts with default settings, or add an empty chart and configure it yourself. The contents of the drop-down list depends on the data that has been collected during the capture session.

Cycle through themes

cycle_themes Switches between the dark and light color schemes.

Export (Timeline view only)

export Opens the Export dialog box, enabling you to export the data for the current zoom level from the Timeline view to a text file.

Another export button below the details panel allows you to Export Heat Map Data. See Heat Map mode for further information.
